It was on tv yesterday morning. Students were paying upfront 600,000yen.

It reminds me of Bing Bang Boom' Club's bankruptcy in Osaka. Many of those customers got screwed for hundreds of dollars too.

Any word on the situation with the teachers caught in this mess?

Some were out 1.5 months' pay, but 2 guys who used to work there told me that the government will reimburse them for 80% of that lost pay in the next month or 3.

The two guys I know were given 24 hours notice to clean out their lockers. Both have families depending on NCB salaries for about half of their income, and one of them just got approved for a housing loan (the building is half up, and the bank saw the news about NCB, so his loan is in jeopardy).
