What surprises me is where the article said this is a civil case and not a crimimal one. Why isn't it a criminal case? Isn't fraud a criminal act?

I would also be very interested in knowing where the fees went that were paid by the camp participants...in his own pocket? If so, that would be theft, wouldn't it?

If any regular business tried this crap on their employees, they wouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Someone needs to bring this guy down and get these people paid for services rendered.
