Are they still in jail? Already deported or what? I am very curious to know if Disney hired their lawyers and paid their fines? Did Disney think they were too big to be busted or what? From the article they are surely part of the fraud don't you think? Also what happened to the Disney teacher lawsuit from last year? http://eslwatch.info/forum/china/66-news-flash-disney-esl-teachers-busted-by-psb-visa-squad-in-chengdu.html

Didn't EF have the same problem last year? You know, if employers can't follow the law, the employees probably won't either. Now I know why the teacher turnover is so damn high in China.

I interviewed with Disney China last year and they wanted to send me to Chengdu. So glad I said no thanks.

It'll be days before you get the stink of the CFTU out of your computer.

Similar to getting the news off the walls of a grungy public restroom. Shocked

Are the teachers free or still in the can? This happened about two weeks ago.

Who knows. But there have been posters who were booted from the Cafe for spamming the forum with links to outside blogs and scam sites. But then, you already know that.

What are you talking about? I see hundreds of threads with links to references and outside sources on almost every single thread in this website. Are you telling me you depend on all your information only from each other here? If yes, then one of you would know what happened to the five Disney English teachers that were arrested for fake visas and diplomas right? I always source my posts whenever I can.

Yeah Why? I also play boggle and word poker too. What does this have to do with the Disney English teachers?
