Bank Gets Busted For College Student Loan Scam
The Federal Reserve Board ordered Higher One, Inc., a company specializing in student loans, to pay a fine of $2.2 million in addition to refunding $24 million in fees to about 570,000 students who opened accounts with them. The company was also ordered to cease operations for using their website and marketing materials to deceive students about fees and costs associated with their offerings.

I wonder where that fine is going to go. It would make sense to help all these poor kids offset their loans to begin with otherwise they're going to start the working world with negative finances, and liability is never good!
