Mossimo Giannulli, who has been charged with felony conspiracy in a college bribery scandal, has admitted that he's been deceptive before. In an interview, Giannulli has admitted lying to his parents about being a college student in order to get tuition money from them, which he then used to start his T-shirt design business. Read on for details.

T-shirt designer Mossimo Giannulli — who’s been accused of paying bribes to get his daughters into the University of Southern California — has spoken out about how he lied to his own parents about attending the elite school, while pocketing their tuition payments.
Back in the 1980s, Giannulli convinced his dad that he was a college student by making bogus report cards and got his pop to fork over cash with fake tuition bills, according to a recently resurfaced 2016 profile on the fashion blog “The Hundreds.”
“SC was expensive, so that was how I was starting my company. I used all that cash,” Giannulli told the blog.
The article says Giannulli did attend some classes and he lived in a fraternity house at the school.
USC confirmed to CNN that Giannulli attended during the spring semester of 1984, but not as a fully matriculated student. He went to the College of Continuing Education, a non-degree program open to anyone “with no formal admissions requirements.” Those students were given “visitor status” on campus.
