Fraud is not fudging a few LSAT numbers. There is no material difference between a 160 LSAT and a 162 LSAT, and it isn't going to deter any student from going to a law school. This is especially true now, when law school is an all but sure bet to pay off after 2016, when the expected shortage of lawyers will kick in. And it's especially true for a prestigious flagship university in a state with immense demand for attorneys, like - say- the University of Illinois.
What is fraud is when a comely young woman says she'll work the Socratic Method on your Cardozo in exchange for a modest retainer of $200.00 cash against her $500.00 hourly rate and it turns out she's a cop with no interest in said actions after you relied on her claims and shelled out the Benjamins. Your dreamy road trip to Orgasmville just got halted by a legitimate fourth amendment seizure. More importantly, the young woman lied on which you materially relied causing a bad time. That's real fraud, people. Fraud.
On that note, Above the Law is reporting that Paul Pless was arrested on charges of soliciting prostitution in a "sting" operation.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAt least he didn't pay $150,000 to get fucked like the students at Illinois.
Great comment, Charles. You're right on target.
DeleteIt's easy to see how Pless got taken in by this prostitution scam.
ReplyDeleteHe probably thought the "hooker" was an Illinois JD trying to make her loan payments.

ReplyDeletePlease. Let us not use the ugly word "comely" even to condemn it. Let us all refer to it as "The C Word." Wait. Maybe we should refer to it as
Delete"The "C" word, but not the "C" word you are thinking of, you dirty bastard."
I made a similar mistake to Pless. When i was younger, I got really frustrated, and needed to get me a little career satisfaction. I met this hooker named Jaidie who promised me a good time. She said that important people had reviewed her performance and had told everyone that she was worth a million bucks. She said that she was really versatile. She showed me her sexy brochures. She said that nobody would ever screw me like she could. Her price of $150,000 seemed a little high, but she said I could work out a deal with her Madam, Sallie Mae, whereby I could pay on credit, no money down.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Pless knows a good criminal attorney. After all, he used to work at a law school...ya think?...nawww....
