Rich hub, wife: We’re guilty in college caper

Manhattan millionaires Gregory and Marcia Abbott entered guilty pleas in a Boston courtroom Wednesday for their roles in the college admissions bribery scandal.

The beverage-packaging executive and his wife, who have residences on Fifth Ave. and in Aspen, paid a whopping $125,000 to have someone correct answers and wildly inflate their daughter’s ACT and SAT test scores last year, prosecutors said.

The government is asking that the privileged parents each receive a sentence of a year and a day in prison, a $55,000 fine and a year of supervised release.

The moneyed mom and dad declined to comment as they left the courthouse Wednesday, according to USA Today.

Gregory Abbott, 69, and Marcia, 59, are due to be sentenced together on Oct. 8.

Prosecutors previously said Marcia Abbott was recorded on a Sept. 4 call asking convicted scam orchestrator William (Rick) Singer if his “people” could step in and help her daughter get a better score on the SAT after she took it once on her own.

“She’s convinced that she bombed the lit because she was too tired,” Abbott said, according to prosecutors.

“(Duke University) told us they didn’t want anything below a 750,” she said. “Even if she gets like a 740, 730 on her math, she still needs to get higher.”

In the end, the testcorrecting scheme lifted the daughter’s ACT score from 23 to 35, placing her in the top 1% of test-takers, officials said.

The daughter’s second SAT taken with the proctor fixing her answers posted a perfect 800 on math and a 710 on the literature subject test, authorities said.
