Are these fake students also voting? Cali had a ton of money in Covid relief - this is a great way to redistribute these funds... it was in the 100's of millions of dollars.
I don't understand how it would be possible to get those financial aid funds directly? even if you sign up for courses and created a fake account to the school you don't automatically receive aid right? first you have to file with FAFSA which uses your person info like name DOB SSN to verify you as a person and your level of income, then if they say you need aid they notify the school, then the school receives those funds and apply them to your tuition balance.
so how would you get the financial aid directly to a personal account? the only time i know that you can get financial aid "refunded" to your personal account if when your tuition bills are already paid in full, then the aid is considered you paying over so they send it to your account, but a scammer would have to pay for the entire tuition upfront to then receive the same money back? this article feels like exaggerated BS to me.
at least the part about getting access to millions in financial aid, seems super difficult and highly improbable unless they were able to fake and bypass almost every system put into place to prevent this exact thing, which if done would mean tons of people would have to drop the ball at their jobs and scammers would somehow have to accurately steal peoples entire identity almost just to even begin this scam. seems unlikely.
In California, they've deliberately removed as many verifications as possible in order to make it possible for illegal aliens without documentation to take advantage of state services like community college.
So all the pretty basic checks you'd expect to normally be in place... aren't. You can just check the box for "don't have a social security number", for example, and continue with your online application without any additional questions. For FAFSA, you've never filed a tax return, so there's nothing to verify, etc... (See https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/financial-aid-and-undocumented-students.pdf)
You likely can't get federal aid directly, like Pell Grants or federal student loans, but you can qualify for the generous "state" financial aid still, which is ultimately partially funded federally.
Some people just sign in to get an .edu-e-mail, which gives them a lot of free digital products at google, amazon, etc. It can save hundreds of dollar a year. the only verification for the companies is the .edu-e-mail. These e-mails are sold in hacking-forums.

Now let’s dig into the Ivy endowments. Let’s dig into this years college admission stats - what do you bet we see huge increases in international students? All cash while American kids are denied.
Isn't it time we called these funding crimes exactly what they are: money laundering by the CA Democrat-Rino crime syndicate. Whether it's millions going to fake students, fake bullet trains, or fake mask purchases from China when better goods are made in the USA, or billions going to fake applicants for unemployment $$$, we'd be foolish to believe these fraudulent expenditures are driven by random hackers as opposed to an organized top-down effort to redirect our tax $$$ to the Deep State criminals who control California. If we Californians don't like this state of affairs, we need to stop voting for criminals. That means we need to know who we are voting for and not just vote for a "D" or an "R", as both parties are still filled w/ candidates and elected officials who benefit from their own criminal behavior, while assuring you, the voter, that they are there to serve you.
You hit the coffin with a large nail...... I made a mistake in the past stating its a dysfunctional state and I was dead wrong, It is a functional cartel at every level.
Any state that forces tax payers to pay for students to go to Community College should put yearly audits in place because I am sure this is happening in other states too. Just another scheme for criminals to take advantage of. Whenever government money is concerned crime follows. Students and their parents should pay for college not the tax payer/state government.
They are stealing federal monies, which is our tax dollars. Corruption hurts us all as they speed up the bankruptcy of our nation. Politicians and criminals take, steal, launder and corrupt every way possible.
Are we paying off their loans too?
Sure--why not? And yes--that was sarcasm.

Just like voting. It’s called cheating

"So "Not my yob" is stopping people who COULD strip out fakes from cleaning the roles?
What happened to "Well, that's not right. I'll just fix it!"?
And we think the problem is dishonest "students"?

Especially white and Asian kids.
Equity
I support your efforts to hold the irresponsible responsible.
Is there anything, a single thing, that is not corrupt in some way in this country?
I hear the tiddly-winks championships are very tightly policed.
That's exactly what I thought while reading it, and I think the answer is "no."
Thank you for exposing this corruption
Wow, incredible. That's a big problem.

As long as this is confined to California, I don't care. They deserve what they get.
It’s called cheating by politicians
I personally do not know a single person who likes Gavin….. and yet.
Vanilla ISIS strikes again
Huh?

When I taught at community colleges in NJ and NY, we had to take attendance every class. Wouldn’t that weed out the bots?
Yikes. A bad situation compounded by the fact that fixing it would actually harm the college.
