Tictoc By Bloomberg

It's been called the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice. For years, dozens of rich parents used their wealth to cheat the system with lies and with bribes that totaled $25 million, all with the hopes of getting their kids into some of the most prestigious schools in the country. David Meyers speaks to Bloomberg's Erik Larson on how this house of cards was built and how it all came tumbling down.
