MINEOLA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – Seven former and current students of a prestigious Long Island high school were arrested Tuesday in an alleged SAT cheating ring.
Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice announced that six Great Neck North High School students had paid 19-year-old Samuel Eshaghoff thousands of dollars to take the SAT for them.
Eshaghoff, who graduated from the high school in 2010 and is currently enrolled at Emory University in Atlanta, was paid between $1,500 and $2,500 per student. He has been arrested and charged with scheme to defraud, falsifying business records and criminal impersonation.

Hmmm, … I don’t understand.
Why is this any of the Gooferment’s business?
Who was defrauded? A corporation; that’s not a person.
Isn’t this SAT’s problem for poor identification and authentication problem?
Why is it the taxpayers’ problem?
I just don’t understand.
