Suspect
nabbed in $300,000 aid fraud Dan Smith
Mesa Legend A 62-year-old MCC student is awaiting trial on account
of more than $300,000 he allegedly swindled from the government
in the form of financial aid.
By using the identities of 50 prisoners, John Christensen is accused
of fraudulently obtaining money from Maricopa County and other college
districts.
“This school is ridiculous.”
“There’s got to be a more efficient way of doing
this.” “Their nursing department may be good, but
they obviously don’t know how to organize worth (expletive deleted).”
“I’m going to Gateway.”
These were some of the less-than-favorable comments being spoken by
MCC students waiting in front of the nursing building.
