Wow,that’s serious money. Were there warning signs about this guy? If so this is a serious wake up call, to not sweep things under the rug, if that’s what happened here.

That is a ridiculous amount. Did administrators hold the victims down? How can they possible bear that much responsibility? If they knew and covered it up they should go to prison.
