[quote=spdrun]He mistakenly made payments to the university — what happened to THAT money: it didn’t just evaporate. Someone was a gonef here.
I’m surprised that he doesn’t just bug out and head back to his birth country — I’d be surprised if they’d extradite a native-born citizen and he could live very cheaply there.[/quote]
I read and reread that section (which was poorly written). He didn’t make payments for the student loans in question (which were only a part of his total student debt.) The student loans in question were $50k, and he had another $50k in other student debt.
Presumably the payments to the university were for this other debt.
He also had quite a path to becoming a dentist… was a bit of a perma-student… Got a masters in public health before starting the dentistry program. That increased his debt load some, I’m sure.
