'Pied Piper' of College Admissions Scam Had All the Answers
He was part coach, part therapist, part motivational speaker and part name dropper. Like a traveling salesman, he sought out clients near and far, selling dreams of prosperous futures.
In central Illinois, William Singer made a passionate pitch to local business executives who came by invitation to a hotel meeting room. In Sacramento, he addressed rapt audiences of parents at private schools. He twice spoke to well-heeled employees at Pimco, the giant investment management firm based in Newport Beach, Calif.
His message was confident and concise: He knew the secret to getting into college.
“He was well dressed, he was well spoken, he had a PowerPoint,” said Eric Webb, a father of two who drove to Champaign, Ill., from Peoria in 2012 to hear Mr. Singer talk about building children’s brands, leveraging their talents and finding the schools of their dreams.
Intrigued, Mr. Webb hired Mr. Singer to prepare his son and daughter for college, paying him at least $5,000 a year for several years of monthly visits to dole out sage advice.
