From my reading of the OP (and the original news reporting that the OP is summarising), this covers the case where someone was defrauded by their school. Not just harmed, defrauded. Fraud is a well-defined crime. It requires intentional d

Can you provide the list of everyone who was given an advance, which you say contains only famous people? The lack of such a list seems like one of the core complaints of the OP, so providing one would probably go a long way toward resolvi

The thing that still baffles me is that Infocom released H2G2 as a “Standard” difficulty game, akin to Planetfall, when I’d argue that it’s one of their most difficult games. Maybe not quite as brain-bending as something like Suspended (whi
