Defendants allegedly conspired to "bribe college entrance exam administrators to facilitate cheating on college entrance exams, to bribe varsity coaches and administrators at elite universities to designate certain applicants as recruited athletes or as other favored candidates, thereby facilitating the applicants' admission to those universities and to use the façade of a charitable organization to conceal the nature and source of the bribe payments."

Prior to the December 2017 SAT, cooperative witness one CW-1 allegedly met with Huffman and Macy in their home. The witness allegedly explained how the scheme works. "He advised Huffman and her spouse that he 'controlled' a testing center, and could arrange for a third party to purport to proctor their daughter's SAT and secretly correct her answers afterwards," the court papers claim. "CW-1 has advised investigators that Huffman and her spouse agreed to the plan."
