    The trade school I went to is being investigated by the FBI

    http://www.news4jax.com/news/FBI-rai...1/-/index.html

    The FBI said it was serving a search warrant at FastTrain College in the 10000 block of Deerwood Park Boulevard on the Southside on Wednesday morning.

    Officials said it was part of a joint investigation with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Inspector General regarding Pell Grants.

    There was a major undercover investigation by the General Accounting Office in 2010 of for-profit trade schools, which receive billions in federal loans and grants.

    The investigation uncovered "deceptive and otherwise questionable sales and marketing practices," according to a government inquiry.

    FastTrain student Ray Bartley was at the school Wednesday morning and said he nearly received a loan in which he would have been taken advantage of.

    "I'm glad I came at this time because they could've took money from me, a lot of money from me, and I'd have been screwed," he said.

    Agents were interviewing employees at the college and collecting files.
    It's a for-profit private college; of course it's going to have questionable sales practices.

    Still,
    Why do you still have signatures turned on?

    But FastTrain College sounds so reputable

    How will the investigation affect its sports program?
