[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol.. buyer said it was an "investment" but then sold it at a loss of over $300K.

[b]I think this type of thing (side door) has been going on for decades and is a lot bigger than anyone realizes.[/b][/quote]

makes sense

I never thought about it but in retrospect, I'm sure tons of coaches and even admissions folk have been selling spots. They're underpaid and they have something of immense value to other people to sell. So why wouldn't they?[/quote]

Because it’s wrong? If I’m underpaid I don’t sell my employer’s paper clips and color paper. [/quote]
DP... I think you are confused.  ^PP wasn't saying it was right. Just that it would make sense that this kind of side door dealing has probably been happening for a long time because these admissions folks and coaches aren't paid *that* much but they control a commodity that is in high demand.[/quote]

No, I understood. I’m merely answering the question the poster asked, “why wouldn’t they?” Because it’s wrong. That’s why they wouldn’t, or shouldn’t. It’s why all of us shouldn’t. Ethics matters. Legality matters. If they’d behaved ethically we wouldn’t be having this conversation. [/quote]
