From CBS News
A woman who describes herself as an award-winning teacher is suing actors Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, as well as the other parents indicted in the college admissions scam, claiming damages of $500 billion. She alleges their actions deprived her son of a fair chance of acceptance at the elite colleges targeted in the scheme.
The lawsuit, reported earlier by Deadline.com, names the parents who were involved in the college admissions scam. The scheme involved dozens of wealthy individuals, including Bill McGlashan, formerly the CEO of a "social-impact" investment fund managed by private equity firm TPG, and Manuel Henriquez, who led financial firm Hercules Capital. Both McGlashan and Henriquez have been ousted from their positions following the scandal.
The parents allegedly paid up to millions of dollars to guarantee their children entry into elite schools such as Yale and Georgetown, relying on bribery and cheating on standardized tests to gain entry into the competitive colleges.
Jennifer Kay Toy, a teacher who said she had been given "teacher of the year" awards while employed in the Oakland Unified School District and Pacifica Academy, said in the lawsuit that her son earned a 4.2 grade point average and applied to some of the colleges targeted by the scam.

There is "Dumb".
Then there is "Aggravated Dumb".
Then there is "Gross Aggravated Dumb".
Then there is "Dangerous Gross Aggravated Dumb".
Then there is "Contagious Dangerous Gross Aggravated Dumb".
Then there is a law suit that claims damages that amount to around 10.5% of the entire US federal budget for 2019.
