Considering his fame, brand recognition, and interests in education, it's pretty plausible to me that he got sort of "scammed" by the people who proposed woz u to him. If you read up on them, they're unsavory for sure. It's a bad mark, for sure, but basically the only bad mark on an otherwise impeccable record. I feel like you certainly get one. So no, I don't think he was trying to scam people. He certainly didn't seem happy about the situation or try to smooth it over.
