Mark Riddell, 36, plans to plead guilty to a count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and a count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, according to an agreement filed late last month. According to the agreement, prosecutors are recommending incarceration and a fine at the “low end” of guidelines. Among dozens of others charged in the scandal were actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, Loughlin’s husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, college sports coaches, athletic administrators and CEOs. Riddell was director of college entrance exam preparation at IMG Academy, which bills itself as the world’s largest sports academy. Riddell typically was paid $10,000 per test, and he was often able to calibrate a desired score for the test, prosecutors said.
