I cannot go into the details even if I actually remembered them because of lawyer/client confidentiality.
My role was just to listen to the Yale lawyer argue as his client had been the employer of my client the released prisoner.
Basically these people just trusted the wrong friend. I will bet there are other stories like this of people making bad choices often because they lacked the education or contacts to make better choices.

I didn't direct my comments at you, Tal. I understand and support your paying off your student debt.
