Olivia Jade's fake profile

In one example, the criminal complaint states that on July 14, 2017, Singer emailed Janke directing her to prepare a crew profile for the younger daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. "Ok sounds good," Janke responded, the complaint states. "Please send me the pertinent information and I will get started."

Two days later, Singer emailed Giannulli to request an "action picture," the complaint states. On July 28, Giannulli sent an email, copying Loughlin, with a photo of their younger daughter on an ergometer, the rowing machine.

The younger daughter, the social media influencer Olivia Jade, was then accepted to USC as a crew recruit even though she did not actually row competitively, the complaint states. Giannulli directed his business manager to send a $50,000 payment to USC's senior associate athletic director Donna Heinel and later wired $200,000 to Singer's fake charity, the complaint states.

Giannulli and Loughlin have both pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Heinel has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering.
