Well, the very famous/rich/connected people were always expected to have a leg up and more influence when it comes to admissions, but I seriously thought they would obtain some recommendation letter or something. I didn't expect people doing tests under false identities or officials faking actual test results.

Ex PIMCO CEO is allegedly also affected.
