Canadians No Longer on the Run; Their In Jail

It looks like this group of mostly Canadians didn’t take my advice seriously:

In an ongoing investigation of forged diplomas, prosecutors have busted some 70 people including unqualified English language instructors and the brokers who supplied their fake documents.
Southern Seoul prosecutors arrested a Korean-American identified as Kang on suspicion of brokering the jobs and an accomplice identified as Kim for forging certificates. They also booked two Canadians without detention. They are among approximately 70 people who have been deported or are currently in the protection of the Seoul Immigration Bureau.

(…)

Canadians made up the bulk of the unqualified teachers (62) due to a visa exemption treaty that ensures a steady stream of travelers between the two countries. The others were four Australians, three Britons and three Americans. Starting next March, native foreign language instructors are to be sent to schools across the country, and Korea has had a bad reputation as a haven for unqualified English teachers, a prosecution source said. The large-scale bust will be a good deterrent to curb the influx of unqualified instructors.”

Should of got a haircut and a black backpack.
