The Gilbert Ultimatum

University stories rarely offer international intrigue, but the Jorge Gilbert saga at Evergreen State College has potential.

Jorge, a charming Chilean, ran back to the mother country with tens of thousands of dollars he stole from students in the Evergreen study abroad program he used to administer. He even managed to sell his pricey Olympia condo before the hapless state could grab it.

Jorge’s not in hiding; he’s living an elegant life in a fancy apartment in Santiago and is attached to some university there. So Washington’s trying to hire a collection company to corner and fry his ass.

… Chilean collection agencies typically keep as payment about ΒΌ of the total debt collected- meaning any collection agency interested in tracking Gilbert … and wringing him of the money he owes Washington stands to make a cool $30,000.

I see Gilbert scaling the Gran Torre Costanera and shouting Nunca me llevan vivo.
