How can you complain with sites like these?
JET UNIVERSITY SUCKS BEWARE OF JET UNIVERSITY JETUNIVERSITYSUCKS.COM - HOME

I mean, I feel bad for the students, but just do a bit of research before paying $70,000 up front. Not smart at all.

The Jetuniversitysucks.com website has not been up for very long. Many students wallets were emptied a long time ago by a very slick talking salesman there who also happens to be the owner.
At least they can't take advantage of anymore people now.

I feel really bad for those students. I hope they (JU's owners) don't try to tie this thing up in court for years....if it even makes it that far.

They really just need to un-a$$ the students money and return it before someone stomps a hole in theirs. JMO.

The student's money is unsecured. The other creditors (and possibly the employees) will have first shot at whatever money might be left.

This is a flashback to ATA in 2002.
