Remember Stephen Yagman?

November 23, 2007 · 0 comments

He was the “expert in civil rights legislation” (according to his own web site who was convicted of federal tax evasion, money laundering and bankruptcy fraud charges.

Yagman’s hearing for sentencing was earlier this week. He has asked the court to spare him jail time based on his health and the potential for personal harm during his sentence. Prosecutors are asking for at least nine years in prison.

Apparently UCLA is betting on things going Yagman’s way: if he avoids prison time, he has been asked to teach a course on “law, morality and social justice.” Interesting definition of morality for those Bruins, no?

Apparently, a history course in ethics is one that Mr. Yagman won’t be taking as a prerequisite.

An interesting thought (I could be giving my thinking too much credit): Generally universities must have credentialled faculty (graduate or better) to maintain special “academic status” – if Yagman has been disbarred, does he still have “academic credentials”?

Also, the problem is that consumers (we the public) keep consuming or are drawn towards this negative reward system and the laws of supply & demand kicks in. As long as we pay for (register) for people like Tagman, there will always be someone to capitalize on their lack of moral compass!

YAGMAN NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE. HE DOES NOT NEED TO PROFESS HIS POISON TO UCLA STUDENTS.

THE I.R.S., AND THE GOVERNMENT RETALIATED AGAINST MR. YAGMAN SHORTLY AFTER HE SUED
THE I.R.S FOR A SUM OF 600,000. IF EVERYBODY
WOULD LOOK UP BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE 6060 MORAL OF CHARACTER THEY WOULD
FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE SOME ATTORNEYS OUT THERE ACCUSED AND CONVICTED OF FRAUD.
