Courtesy LAFS A federal judge has thrown out a whistleblower lawsuit that accused the Los Angeles Film School of massive student loan fraud and has sanctioned the claimants’ attorney for filing a brief generated by ChatGPT.
The whistleblowers, two former executives at the school, filed a false claims suit in 2024, alleging a scheme in which the school paid outside vendors to hire its own students, inflating its job placement figures. The school paid $1 million to resolve a Department of Education audit into that and other issues in 2020, but the executives alleged that the school had lied to DOE investigators and hidden the full scope of the fraud.
