Hodge, former CEO of Pacific Investment Management Company, Pimco, benefited more from the elaborate admissions scheme led by Rick Singer than any parent sentenced to date in the blockbuster "Varsity Blues" case, prosecutors said.
Before delivering his sentence, U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton made Hodge stand and excoriated the business executive, saying his behavior was "unconscionable and egregious."
