Kingfish's college scheme comes to fruition!


THere was an hilarious episode where Kingfish conned Andy into enrolling in college, although of course, there was no actual enrollment. Kingfish explained to Andy that while most students need 4 years to graduate, most of that time is spent in football games and parties, and the actual study time was really only 4 weeks.

At the time, viewers probably wondered what kind of devious mind would concoct such a scheme and how could anyone be so stupid as to fall for it. But in 2015, there are webistes out of Pakistan which actually make a multi million dollar business out of defrauding people using nonexistent colleges. So maybe Kingfish was onto something.
