His sentence by US District Judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston is the longest anyone has received in the scandal to date. Fifty-seven people have been charged in the investigation, in which parents conspired with college admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer to pay bribes to secure college admissions for their children. Judge Gorton said he was sending a message to rich parents unscrupulous enough to follow Aziz’s actions. Aziz was President and Executive Director of Wynn Macau Limited from January 2014 to September 2016 and was responsible for the development and opening of Wynn Palace, which opened on 22 August 2016. GAMAL ABDELAZIZ ，業內被稱為Gamal Aziz， 由於早前為其女兒進入大學時行賄30萬美元，被 判處一年監禁及25萬美元罰款，該案為「Varsity Blues」大學招生舞弊醜聞的一部分。 這個由波士頓美國地方法官Nathaniel Gor- ton對其判處的刑期，為迄今為止該醜聞案件中最 長的時間。目前共有57人在調查中受到指控，涉 案父母與大學招生顧問William Rick Singer合謀 造假行賄，以確保他們的孩子被名校錄取。 Gorton法官表示，他的判案是在向那些肆無忌 憚地效仿Aziz行為的富有父母發出警告。 Aziz曾於2014年1月至2016年9月期間擔任永利 澳門有限公司總裁兼執行董事，並負責2016年8月 22日永利皇宮的開業及其後發展。
