Lori Loughlin's fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli, who has been accused alongside his actress wife of paying bribes to get their daughters into university, lied to his own parents about going to college and produced fake report cards to convince his father to send him money for tuition.
Giannulli, 55, and Loughlin, 54, said this week that they intended to plead not guilty to accusations that they got their daughters into the University of Southern California with bribes.
A recently resurfaced profile has now revealed how Gianulli tricked his own parents into thinking that he was attending the elite school in the 1980s, pocketing the money they sent him in support.

The profile, written in 2016 on the fashion blog The Hundreds, shares how Gianulli persuaded his father to pay by producing fake tuition bills.
He told the blog: 'SC was expensive, so that was how I was starting my company. I used all that cash.'
The profile adds, however, that Giannulli did attend some classes while living 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 enrolled student.
