USC accused of fraud by 'Varsity Blues' parent whose conviction was overturned
Briefly

John Wilson argues that the donation he made to the USC athletic department was not a bribe but rather a legitimate contribution following advice that was endorsed by university officials.
In his quest to clear his name, Wilson claims that he confirmed the legality of his actions with two USC employees, underlining his belief that the donation was in line with accepted university policies.
The lawsuit signifies Wilson's intent to reclaim not only the donation of $100,000 but also to defend against accusations of fraud that impacted his family substantially.
This is about more than just money for Wilson; it's also about restoring his family's reputation following what he perceives as an unjust prosecution driven by broader scandals.
