Dick Wolfe gives us a twofer ("two for one") in ripping stories from headlines:

• We get the college bribery scam inspired by the travails of Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman as a result of "Operation Varsity Blues". The investigation was instigated at the behest of Morrie Tobin, who wanted leniency in a security fraud case he help masterminded. The path to college acceptance occured in one of four ways: 1) athlete recruit; 2) payment to certain college coaches/ officials ; 3) payment to ACT and SAT proctors ; 4) Encouraged prospective applicants to take test out-of-state and accompanied by a "personal assistant" at a "accommodated test site". The parents of these applicants funneled money into a sham charity, headed by William "Rick" Singer, so he could pay off his cohorts to weasel their kids into school.
• We also have a fraudulent medical tech company run by a woman CEO. Theranos (derived from a combination of the words from Greek meaning "therapy" and "diagnosis" respectively), which was ran by Elizabeth Holmes raised $700 million for blood test tech that turned out to not work. The CEO goes on trial in August 2020.
