  I'm not sure that federal or private loans could be used to start a company, even if you listed that one of your "living expenses" was "starting a company." There isn't a lot of policing of what students use their student loan living expenses for, but I don't think that means you're free to do whatever you want with it legally. Also, it's amazing how the child a doctor and a professor would be praised for cheating the government at a grand scale while our society is busy watching what poor people buy with EBT (food stamps) at the grocery store. I don't find these details of Sacca's story admirable.
