The other crime is that the education costs $85, 000.00

In the mean time, 100 similar students who are able to keep their mouths shut are enjoying full rides at universities across the country.

He told lies : Never got caught
He posted truth: Got caught 😅

Cost of tuition at that university is ~311k for a 4-year degree
That's a crime

Good they caught him before he ran for congress.

WTF: A fake death certificate of his dad who is still alive??? That’s craaazy!!!

I saw the post he submitted on the subreddit, its deleted now but originally assumed it was fake. He even said that even after getting financial aid, he resorted to cheating in university exams while spending most of his time drinking. Also made money from fraudulent internships.

$85k is a lot of money for a deportation gift.

Looks like the 85000 education didn’t teach him anything. He was still dumb enough to follow his school from an anonymous profile. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Dude could’ve have gotten away with it if he kept his mouth shut.
Also, the university should have forced him to pay them back if he wasn’t going to be sent to jail.

The university did not lose a thing, so it was easy for them to forgive the debt. It was the donors to the scholarship and the students who bore the weight of this man's scam. He will return to his home country and run remote scams from there. The university has a duty to pursue justice against this criminal, so that he can never step onto US soil again. Instead, they are stepping away, not in a spirit of charity, but to avoid any accountability for their own lack of diligence. Financial benefactors to the school should take note.

As an Indian who lost both parents at a young age, was homeless in the US, never begged for any money, this makes me furious

Those posts on reddits asking people about their darkest secrets are just setups 😂 . You're not anonymous on reddit to law enforcement.

don't worry, he has a promising career waiting for him in India... He'll be back soon in a phone call to random Americans... "I'm agent Smith, I've issued an arrest warrant for your federal offense.. you owe the IRS $50 thousand dollar in back taxes. We will drop the charges if you settle the debt in gift cards."

Shame on you Anand as the university will now look at other truly deserving students with suspicion.

The plot thickens: He just landed a remote job as an inside merchant services sales rep for a company located in Nigeria.

As an Indian, this is really sad to see. I'm pretty sure there would have been way more hardworking Indian students who could've been deserving of that scholarship and actually work their butt off to get that degree. Because of one such student, many others will now be seen as "potential scammer".

Following the IRS and Social Security scams involving individuals from India, there is now a new issue with a scholarship scam 🤔🤔

Looks like he’s going Lelow University now

85k is 7 million in Inidian rupees. Unless he comes from a rich family, he wouldn't be able to pay this off.
