A private equity firm founder who was one of the first parents to face trial on charges arising out of a vast U.S. college admissions scandal was re-sentenced on Friday to six months' home detention after an appeals court tossed most of his conviction. John Wilson, the founder of Hyannis Port Capital, had been sentenced to 15 months in prison before a federal appeals court in Boston in May upended his 2021 fraud convictions for conspiring to pay bribes to secure spots for his children at top universities. "We thought it was very fair," said Michael Kendall, a lawyer for Wilson.
