it was revealed from emails that:

the Democratic front-runner also has an array of connections to the for-profit education industry that some observers have said raise questions about the type of influence for-profit colleges would enjoy under a Clinton administration.

Most prominent are Clinton’s ties to the global for-profit education behemoth Laureate Education, for whom her husband, Bill Clinton, worked directly, earning $16.5 million between 2010 and 2014. The former president stepped down from his post as honorary chancellor for Laureate International Universities last year, after making a handful of trips to various countries on behalf of the company.


In Chile one of the company's campuses was criticized by its accreditor over academic quality issues and also ran into trouble with government regulators.

For-profit education is technically illegal in Chile. Laureate has legally circumvented the ban, it says, by acquiring seats on the boards of colleges and then selling services such as building management and online courses to those schools.

The company used the same tactics to establish a presence in Turkey, where for-profit colleges are also banned.

rochard, care to comment:

as secretary of state, Clinton pushed for the inclusion of Laureate at a higher education policy dinner that was hosted at the State Department.
She wrote in a 2009 email to a top aide that Laureate was “a for-profit model that should be represented” at the closed-door event, which also included the leaders of several research universities as well as a community college. Describing Laureate as “the fastest-growing college network in the world,” Clinton said the company was “started by Doug Becker, who Bill likes a lot.”
A senior vice president at Laureate was subsequently added to the guest list of the dinner, according to Clinton’s emails, which were released by the State Department last year under a court order.

I'm just here to see the comments...

How come the Republican party isn't going over her emails and using them to make her look bad?

The Supreme court says it's every American's right to buy politicians. Everyone with $10 million or more. The rst can :321GFY

Is it possible to get jailed for fraud?

Imagine a President being walked out of the White House in handcuffs. :1orglaugh

So much more dirt to dig up.

Some have been fantasizing about that every day for the last 8 years :1orglaugh

This morning I was reading articles saying Trump might be charged with RICO violations...

Donald Trump's Desperate Attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel's Integrity? - The Atlantic
BREAKING: Trump Faces RICO Charges Over Trump University Scam, Could Face Massive Prison Sentence

Great find! Interesting.

The facts so far that show this is entirely feesible:

1) 10/2014 Supreme Court Judge Kern rules that Trump was so personally involved in running the operation that the corporate vail is pierced and Trump is personally liable for any case involving Trump U.

2) In 2005 the New York Department of Education warned Trump that using the term University with his operation was illegal and misleading, and to cease & desist, for 5 years Trump continued to receive warnings but still use the term until being sued by the attorney general, and losing in 2010.

3) Under deposition Trump stated that everything he knew about real estate was in his published books, nothing different in the Trump U seminars.

4) Playbooks for Trump U were submitted as evidence and they give step by step instructions to the employees on how to stall law enforcement and manipulate their investigations, if they were to investigate.

5) Trump U playbook goes into extreme detail on how to juice prospects for more and more money to take more seminars, for tens of thousands of dollars, that teach nothing you couldn't learn from his books.

So Trump was warned he was breaking the law, continues to do so, is sued by the AG, loses, changes the company name, instructs Trump U franchises across the country on how to stall/manipulate law enforcement/state ivestigators, and still continues to run the operation. RICO?

"RICO stands for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S.C. § 1961), a law that increases the severity of penalties for crimes performed in conjunction with organized crime."

The only good thing I could possibly see to Trump being prez would be selling "tribute" photos of his wife/wives.

When life gives you lemons... make daiquiris, get super drunk, and watch the whole damn place go up in flames while you whistle Garryowan.

it's comical watching you guys call Trump U a scam/fraud/etc... if he had an affil program that paid 20%... everyone here would signup and magically the students that paid $30k for seminars/consulting would no longer be called "victims", but would be described as "whales"... :error :1orglaugh

Not everyone thanks

This is gonna be bad.

Too many anti-Trump phaggots on GFY.

I disagree. All of us have had programs that converted well, but you got complaints from members saying it was a rip off or not worth it. When that happens, you pull links.

RICO was meant to take on the Mafia - and make sure they stay in prison for a long time.

The best part is Trump University gave specific instructions on what to do if the attorney general came around asking questions. What kind of company has to give it's employees instructions on how to handle law enforcement, the FBI, or the Attorney General?

Yet Trump is walking around claiming Hillary is crooked. LOL.

says the guy that used to work for an adult dating company? a type of business that isn't exactly known for honest practices? :helpme

I don't blame you, we all have kids to feed, and I'm sure you had nothing to do with any shadiness if there was any, but don't kid yourself, if you could put up Trump U links on your site, and collect few thousand per day, you would do it... especially considering Trump U ran a 10x more honest operation than most adult dating sites... :2 cents:

hillary is crooked. Trump has nothing to do with that.

Has she ever lost a lawsuit or been convicted of a crime?

you're one of the smarter GFYers. i know for a fact you can grasp how politicians can be crooked and yet not been convicted.

Not yet...but its probably coming.

no matter who wins the election (its Hillary FYI spoiler alert)

the butt-hurt is gonna be awesome!

Like I've said before, Trumps offensive strategy is to put the opposition on the defensive by labeling them with your own weaknesses. When they hit back, its reactionary and is less likely to stick. Politics sucks and way too many variables all around to even know if the GOP will stick with Trump after the RICO ruling that comes the day before the convention.

No, I wouldn't. And I've pulled links when I believe a company is shady.

You have some warped image of the adult industry.

We had a leak in one of our bathrooms and it cost thousands of dollars to fix. I think plumbers are shady.

except maybe aggressive salesmanship, which is far from a "scam", I don't see anything shady about Trump U... which part do you consider shady? that he was selling a dream that only perhaps 10% will achieve? How is it his fault that 90% don't have what it takes to be RE investors? Shady because there were upsells? that's common practice in many businesses...

where exactly was the scam?

Trump was so broke he went WSO with trump U har har har!

..and of course the judge is a Mexican hater.

Yes, I'm with you, obviously a company that was forced out of Texas due to fraud is totally legit!!

thanks for clearing things up... so you don't know where the scam is yourself? you are just assuming it must be a scam because you read on some news site that they were "forced out of Texas"?

Yes, obviously Trump is just a victim here. Damn those Mexican haters. I bet it was Hillary that put them up to it..

aggressive salesmanship my ass :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh They had manuals specifically instructing how to target elderly people. Good lord. Entire TV show American Greed on MSNBC is dedicated to this sort of aggressive salesmanship :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Start with calling it a "University" and take it from there.

Just like previous educated and intelligent minds did. :2 cents:

so what that they had manuals? car dealers have manuals too... young couple shows up, you pitch them car A while highlighting x, y and z features.... mid-life-crisis male shows up, you pitch him car B highlighting n, p and q features, etc...

same with Trump courses, you use different sales pitch based on potential customer's age/gender/etc... nothing shady about that at all, it's just aggressive salesmanship like I said...

Right, thats why multiple DAs filed charges. Just because they are all mexican and hate great USA :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Cut the shit.

Documents show aggressive sales tactics at Trump University

They were selling air.. Emotions. Not knowledge.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Trump is going to crush polls tomorrow even though nobody is running against him.

He's going to get more individual votes then both hillary and Bernie and then in general election half Bernie voters are going to vote for trump.

Write that down boys and girls.
