A Chinese family reportedly paid $6.5 million to secure a spot for their daughter at Stanford University ― the largest payment referenced by federal prosecutors as part of a far-reaching investigation into college admissions fraud. Miranda declined to confirm Zhao as the student whose admission was rescinded last month, citing federal student privacy laws. The Zhao family has not commented on the matter publicly. The family behind the $6.5 million payment to Singer has remained a mystery up until this week. Federal prosecutors referenced the colossal sum during a March news conference announcing the indictment, but have not publicly named the person behind it.
