The student is Yusi Zhao, who was admitted to Stanford in 2017, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation. Stanford rescinded Ms. Zhao’s admission in April, and she is no longer a student there. The person with knowledge of the inquiry said that Ms. Zhao’s family was introduced to Mr. Singer by a financial adviser at Morgan Stanley based in Pasadena, named Michael Wu. A spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley said that Mr. Wu had been terminated for not cooperating with an internal investigation into the matter and that the firm was cooperating with the authorities. Mr. Wu did not respond to a phone call.
