Assume for the moment that these foreign parents who did these payments to Singer and donation to the foundation suspected it was for a bribe. How would the FBI/DOJ PROVE that they did? Do you think Singer was dumb enough to spell it out in some written document, or through an interpreter? Give me a break. He probably didn't do that until working with the FBI.
I suspect that Singer was just smart enough to implicate a set of parents that were naive enough to discuss anything related to crimes. He plucked them for the FBI. Any parents that worked only through a lawyer probably are in a position to not be easily charged.
I suspect that such parents heard that Singer was able to get students into schools. They probably simply asked, "How much for your services?" and avoided any knowledge of what Singer did with the money.
