Sad. In my 40 plus years in this business I have seen this happen too many times. These grifters con the students who don’t know any better into giving them ridiculous amounts of money and usually make them fly in marginally safe if not dangerous old sht boxes and milk them dry with “ no you are not ready yet you need more time” and on an on. In the worst cases this is what happens and the kids and their parents are sht out of luck. Time to make an example of this guy and lock him up for 25-life. Our industry needs to have a campaign that informs people that ALL FLIGHT TRAINING IS PAY AS YOU GO. TRUST NO INE AND IF THEY TRY TO CON YOU DISCOUNTED PRICES IF YOU GIVE THEM A PILE OF CASH RUN THE OTHWR DIRECTION. The only satisfaction the poor victims will get is to see this guy locked up til he croaks of old age.
