Is this really a problem? America seems to place far more importance on the freedom of an individual to scam or fleece other people, rather than on protecting people from their own weaknesses.
Scammy for-profit colleges seem like one of dozes of byproducts of this mentality and there's no reason to think Americans would like to have it any other way. In fact, it often seems to me as if Americans reserve extra respect for these scammers for being so good that they're able to convince and con so many people.
