Abdelaziz and Wilson, two parents from Las Vegas, have had their fraud convictions overturned by a federal appeals court on Wednesday. The pair were found guilty in 2021 of paying bribes to get their kids into elite universities as part of the “Operation Varsity Blues” scandal. The appeals court ruling is a major victory for the two parents, and could have implications for other parents who were charged in the scandal. It remains to be seen how the ruling will affect the college admissions process going forward.
