As part of the fraud, Gordon is alleged to have arranged to have his daughter fake a learning “discrepancy”, in order for her to receive special permission to be given extended time and a separate room to take the ACT test. After obtaining it, she was allegedly permitted to take the test at a co-conspirator’s school in West Hollywood, California.
Gordon was alleged to have paid $75,000 (set up to be tax-deductible, masked as a donation to the foundation of an alleged co-conspirator) in November and December 2018 to have two bribed proctors of the ACT test correct his daughter’s incorrect answers after she finished her exam, thereby improving her ACT test results by 10 points as she was applying to university.
