The college entrance cheating scheme, in which Mr. Chang took the exam for someone else, and for which he was paid handsomely, was busted.

Anything wrong here?

Thanks.

One other way to say it might be "The college entrance cheating scheme, in which Mr. Chang was paid handsomely to take the exam for someone else, was busted."

The original sentence isn't wrong--this is just a different way that I (as a native speaker) might say it.

Thanks. Precisely what I like to know.
