Fools and their money are soon parted. And he needs to raise restitution, so I guess he'll be looking for more students.

Student: OK Rick-sensei, I borrow you $230,000?
Rick-sensei: No, no. It's 'I lend' and 'you borrow'.

So he was a former NOVA teacher ? So what ?

I'd say NOVA was a perfect place to hone his scam skills.

Not cool at all, cashed up students or not. Was the missus aware or even involved in the scam?

And what's NOVA got to do with this case? Not a fan of NOVA, but really. Right, wouldn't have been a story for here with out the NOVA part.

Must have thought it fine after Nova not paying any of their teachers

NOVA is essential to the story because it is where he groomed his victims. Between this and the other American who dumped a woman in the sea last year, the concert promotion business is starting to look pretty shady (not that it ever wasn't).

If the wife wasn't aware i feel sorry for her, now probably having to raise the child alone.

Those were some expensive English lessons!

Hahahahaha. It seems like there's a lotta hate for NOVA? Why is that, I wonder?

Used to work for NOVA, and old NOVA employed anyone and everyone. Most were some decent, fun people looking to experience a new culture. This dude was so stupid! he was much better off putting it in a CD and taking a percentage of the profit. He would be able to have some free, extra, honest cash for his family. What an idiot.
