Notice they didn't charge the 600 students who enrolled. They charged only 8 of those students who recruited lots of other students. That's kinda shady but it's probably a step removed from entrapment. The article doesn't have anything from the defense's side though.


It also seems like an awful lot of time and money to get 8 indictments.


But they did arrest and are bringing deportation proceedings against “scores of students”.


Oh I did miss that. That sounds bad considering what was reported last time they did this. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/06/nyregion/students-at-fake...


The "they" in that article is the Obama administration.


So? It's the same agency. I don't know that it changed that much since 2015 when this "new" sting started.
