As with most crimes of this sort, it was her greed that was her downfall.

any relationship to family of the sanyo uni (Osaka) fraud some years before. Shameful. selling education to reap personal gain. Where there is big monies humans will see opportunities. inc public taxes. check out your potential schools. We employed a tax guy to check out Toin high, before enrolment. I dunno, taxes are straight, in and outs are straight?

Greed!

A crook who had already made plenty of yen in her lifetime as a doctor was willing to sell her family’s reputation for just a little more.

Her Iwamoto family should be ashamed and return all ill-gotten gains.

Interesting in that she held the chancellor post until August 2024, full six years after the saga began. Oversight group(s) must have been on holiday elsewhere ;-

Anyway, in the end hope the new buildings inspire higher educational aspirations.
