Eighteen other parents have been charged in the case.

Vancouver businessman David Sidoo enters an adjacent building with his lawyer following a federal court hearing in the U.S. college admissions scandal on March 15, 2019, in Boston.

The indictment says the money was in the name of college-prep company The Key, and meant to be in exchange for admissions consultant William Singer's facilitation of a SAT cheating scheme for Sidoo's younger son.An assistant for Sidoo's lawyer, Richard Schonfeld, said the attorney was declining comment on Tuesday.

The parents in the sweeping case, the largest such scheme ever prosecuted by the Justice Department, are accused of paying Singer to cheat on their children's college entrance exams and get their children admitted as athletic recruits at elite schools. An indictment in March alleged Sidoo paid $200,000 in total for someone to take the SAT on behalf of both his sons, and that he also paid an undisclosed amount for someone to fly to Vancouver and take a high school graduation exam on behalf of his older son.
