Details are in paragraphs 9-15:
9. In or about the summer of 2017, VANDEMOER agreed to designate the child of one of Singer's clients ("Stanford Applicant 1") as a recruit for the Stanford sailing team, in exchange for a payment to Stanford sailing.
10. In support of the student's application. Singer's associate created a student-athlete "profile" that was sent electronically to Stanford, and that falsely suggested that Stanford Applicant 1 was a competitive sailor.
11. In or about May 2018, after Stanford Applicant 1 deferred his application to Stanford for one year. Singer mailed a payment of $110,000 from one of the KWF charitable accounts to the Stanford sailing program in exchange for VANDEMOER's agreement to designate Stanford Applicant 1 as a sailing recruit in the following year's recruitment cycle.
12. In or about the summer of 2018, after Stanford Applicant 1 decided to attend a different university, VANDEMOER agreed with Singer to use that same recruiting spot for the child of another one of Singer's clients ("Stanford Applicant 2"), in exchange for a $500,000 payment to the Stanford sailing program.
13. In support of the student's application, Singer, together with others, created documents falsely indicating that Stanford Applicant 2 was a competitive sailor, although the student in fact had minimal sailing experience.
14. Although Stanford Applicant 2 ultimately did not apply to Stanford, Singer mailed a payment of $160,000 from one of the KWF charitable accounts to the Stanford sailing program.
15. VANDEMOER agreed with Singer that the payment would serve as a "deposit" for a future student's purported recruitment.
