Erwin Sniedzins: CEO of Mount Knowledge, Artificial Intelligence Gamification Patent Inventor, Key Note Speaker, Professor, Author, 2014 Toronto mayoral candidate, Sucker.



Sniedzins, who said he was on the hunt for a master's degree to "validate" his professional and life experience, thought the university was real. "I don't necessarily like to pay $30,000 to get a master's when I feel I already have the knowledge," Sniedzins said. So when the Toronto business management consultant found one offering a master's degree requiring no studying, exams, or academic work — for just $8,100 — Sniedzins thought it was a school sharing his unconventional approach to education.

A Masters Degree, with no class time, studying, or exams. Seems legit.
Should have gone to Trump University instead.

How much research would it take to find out this place is a scam? I'm guessing first page of google hits should have raised red flags, even before the articles this week. And shouldn't someone with that sort of "life experience" have at least the most basic level of knowledge of the Canadian university system.

No sympathy for the guy.

What a dumbass! Guy thinks he has the knowledge to get a masters but can't even see a scam? Sounds about right.
I know a few like that, "the dumb smart people" I call them.
Worst part is the guy is now on the news? I mean if I got taken for a pile of cash and it was all my fault I'd go hide in a corner untill the laughing stopped, I wouldn't call the news.
