Some highlights from the consultant’s invoices (link in post #17)-- they are a good read!

Gerald Chow (the father) himself used the same consultant when he was a student at John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, during the period his boys were enrolled in prep school in the U.S.

Some of items that the consultant invoiced to Chow included services like:

Jane Cassie (through Oct. 10th 2007) finance, ethics, etc

Read and review ethics class notes and class reading. Prepare 5 page summary

Prepare written case explanations for finance, and ethics summaries

Prepare finance answers… meet with gerald… edit paper per his specifications
Subtotal Jane Hours: 31.95 hours x $80/hr = $2556.00

another invoice:

11/2: AIDS in Brazil paper: 1.5 hours
11/2: Ethics discussion questions on finance: 30 minutes
11/5: AIDS in Brazil powerpoint slides: 30 minutes
11/5: AIDS in Brazil research paper: 2.3 hours
…
11/10: First Truman paper for Ethics: 2.2 hours
11/12: Finance Assignment H: 1.2 hours
11/12: Brazil project final: 1.4 hours
11/14: Second version of Truman paper: 1.2 hours
11/14: Editing Brazil paper: 1 hour
11/15: Re-edit of Truman paper: 1.2 hours
11/16: Final edit of Ethics paper: 50 minutes
11/16: Brazil research: 2 hours
11/16: Brazil editing: 1.2 hours
…
Sub Total: 37 hours
Total Jane Hours: 153.1 hours x $80/hr = $12248.00

Lol, it takes a seriously ethically-challenged individual to cheat by paying someone to write your Ethics class papers

Some more ironic tidbits in the invoices:

Small writing projects:
2/18: Discipline of Building Character summary: 45 minutes
2/18: The Arc of Ambition summary: 1 hour

For their 2 boys in prep school, the Chows were invoiced $4000 per boy per month for “monthly consulting fees”. This was on top of the prep school tuition costs which appear as a separate invoice item.

I wonder what services where rendered for the boys for $4k per month/ea?
