This guy basically lied his way into Harvard, managed to get $14000 worth of scholarships and could have graduated from there and got a lucrative career for himself - only he got greedy and tried applying for bigwig scholarships which led to him being exposed!

I'm amazed none of his qualifications or claims were checked out, especially from a place like Harvard!

Why in the world would you admire someone who perpetrated such a scam?

I could understand being amazed at his cheek, but to admire it? Just don't get that........

YABU. I would have admired him only if, once he'd got into Harvard, he'd kept his head down, worked hard and graduated from it.

Exactly, Val.

He is paying the price now, and he's not allowed to make money from his experience either.

I mean, the biggest lie I've told is about my age but nobody believed me
