Donna Heinel lost her job as Senior Assistant Director for Sports last month after she was arrested for taking a bribe of more than $ 1,3 million. Has this amount become a premium for helping at least 24 rich children go to college? as bogus sports recruits, including children star Laurie Laughlin.

Now she is transporting passengers while working at Lyft, and also has put up for sale her home in Long Beach for $ 1,998 million.

According to the LA Times, in 2012, she bought a four-bedroom, three-story Mediterranean-style property for $ 1,2 million.

Heinel was one of a dozen officials who were arrested in fraudulent scheme William "Ricky" Singer.

Federal prosecutors say that her parents paid her by directly sending money to USC accounts she controlled, as well as sending money through a fictitious Singer charity.

“In exchange for bribes, Heinel helped facilitate the admission of more than two dozen students as athletes, although many of these students fabricated sports certificates, and some were not even involved in sports, which they allegedly urged to play.”

These students were Isabella Rose Jannoulli and Olivia Jade Jannully, the daughters of Laughlin and her husband, a fashion designer, Mossimo Jannully, say the feds.

They claim that Mossimo Jannoulli sent the money directly to Heinel, as well as to the Singer Foundation, and then Heinel registered the girls as team recruits, although none of them actually participated in the sport.

When skeptical school counselor Olivia Jade started asking them, Heinel allegedly left Singer with a voice mail message expressing concern that parents "create any irregularities at school."

Last week laughlin and mossimo jannoulli pthey filed court documentsthat say they do not plead guilty to fraud and money laundering.
