In November 2018, William “Rick” Singer picked up the phone in a government building in Boston and dialed a Los Angeles number. “Lori, it’s Rick Singer. How are you?”
in a government building in Boston and dialed a Los Angeles number. “Lori, it’s Rick Singer. How are you?”“They’re really good,” she said. “They love USC. They’re really happy.”Approached by federal agents two months earlier and convinced to cooperate, Singer was recording the call.
The actress and her husband are charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, bribery and money laundering. They have pleaded not guilty despite coming under successive waves of pressure from prosecutors, who warned the couple and co-defendants that they would face more charges if they turned down a plea deal. Prosecutors from the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston have made good on that promise, twice leveling new charges against Loughlin and Giannulli.
The couple thought Singer’s charity was a bona fide nonprofit, their lawyers said in a motion, and that the money they wired to it would “support programs geared toward helping underprivileged children.” As for the checks to USC, they trusted the funds would go toward a “legitimate, university-approved purpose,” their lawyers wrote.
