For any of you out there that has been taken by this Silver State scheme. You need to look into an on going lawsuit that has been in play since Sept 2005. It was filed in Florida and is referenced as Bergen vs. Key Bank. This isn't the first school failure and it is not limited to helicopters or aviation for that matter. What you that have been defrauded have come to focus on is the crook up close (the schools and they are crooks) but you haven't seen the bigger crook behind the scenes. Even the lawyers floating around Silver State have not made the connection to the real bandits. THE BANKS ARE THE ENABLERS! Don't believe me? Do a search on how many vocational schools have failed just since 2000 that include everything from aviation, computer tech, and nursing. In each instance, look for the similarity in the same banks as lender. The student is used as the credit risk. They could care less if the school is fly by night because they feel that they are protected by you having "your" neck on the line not the school. They "The Banks" know that if the school goes under they probably won't recoup their money from them anyway but YOU on the other hand are their ace in the hole. They insulate themselves by being able to come after the student for the money and get most of them to pay. They'll never get money out of the school that's why they really don't care about the schools credit worthiness or accreditation. The history of this practice bears out the fact that THE BANKS continued to lend to shady schools, school failure after school failure. The devil in the fraud is the bank. Did you ever see the $?... or did the bank just send it straight to the school as I'm sure they did. Don't you think the bank then is in business with the school and vice versa? The only innocent person left holding the bag is you. Get your attorneys to look at that case in Florida. It is the way to victory and justice.
