“1999: I used to be a senior at a Catholic highschool in Virginia. We had a brand new freshman enrolled who claimed to be Stephen Spielberg’s nephew, ‘Jonathan Spielberg.’ He attended the varsity for a semester or two so as to ‘conduct analysis for a movie function,’ ingratiating himself with the opposite ninth graders.”
“He obtained free tuition and particular privileges from the principal, who was continuously seen strolling by the halls along with his arm throughout Jonathan’s shoulders. The principal, who was a priest and former Navy Reserve chaplain, even gave up his personal parking house so Jonathan might park his BMW along with his ‘Splberg’ plates within the spot.
Finally, Jonathan stopped coming, and anxious directors dug deeper into his file to contact him, his household, or his earlier colleges.
Seems, there was no Jonathan Spielberg. All of the enrollment paperwork and transcripts had been faux. He was truly a 28-year-old who lived domestically along with his mom in a small condo.
From reminiscence, I believe he was charged with fraud however given a suspended sentence and served no time. The principal, who was all the time an indignant and imply man, was recused from his place on the finish of the yr when the Catholic order of monks he belonged to withdrew from the varsity, and he bought promoted by the Navy.”
