It may not look like much now but this is actually going to turn into one of the three student lounges which is a really big step up from our old campus.
Right beside me is going to be the future home of the Nittany Lion.
Well that's it for our first look at our new building, I hope you're as excited as I am, and I hope to come back in a month or so and give you an updated look at our new building.
Bye!
In this video I'll be demonstrating the grade by submission method of grading in Etudes.
This is preferred over the grade by question method for an assessment that has more than one question on it that requires manual grading.
This is because with this method you remain on a single submission until you finish grading all questions before you move on to the next submission
So after you log in, click on Assignments, Tests &amp; Surveys
When you're at the main AT&amp;S page, click on the red pen icon next to the assessment you want to grade
Remember that the red pen icon means there are ungraded submissions for that assessment.
This takes you to the main grading page for the assessment.
On this page you'll see a listing of all your students and the details about their attempts for the assessment
So you see I have three students listed here and it shows when they've started, when they finished, their auto score, because this is manually graded it's 0, their final score and then there are columns for evaluated and released
Notice that the students who have finished have clickable links with the red pen icon next to them.
So we're going to click on one of these students - click on their name
This will take you to the page of that student's submission
MARK MORZE: --people.
And if they can be fooled, every single person I ever talk to has to realize they have put their ego on hold and say, you know what, I might be able to be fooled, too.
What's fascinating about the Z Best case is, number one, we had the real division at Z Best that cleaned carpets.
We had the fake division that did restoration work.
The real division had hundreds and hundreds of employees.
The fake division had one employee, me.
I supposedly found all the jobs, bid the jobs, hired all the outside work crews, and handled all of the jobs.
That very thing should have been probably the single biggest red flag that ever could have existed.
That is the thing that I think, above all else-- forget the even 50% profit margins-- someone would say, how is some one person able to handle this entire workload?
And what I ended up finding out was that, unfortunately-- well, let me put it this way.
And hope I don't get too far astream for you.
Accounting work, especially accounting work-- accountants are the most important part of the triumvirate.
Because you can get another banker.
A bank loan can fall apart and you can maybe replace that in a matter of days or hours.
And I'm not trying to be besmirching anyone, but
lawyers are pretty easy to find.
If one law firm doesn't want to work with you, some other
law firm will.
But accounting work takes a lot of time.
And you can't just say, I need an audit tomorrow.
And if you fire your auditor, that sends shock waves through all of corporate America.
They go, oh, my god, they fired an auditor.
How could that be?
So you kind of have to, a little bit, coddle the accountants.
But what I tried to do with all of those people in the triumvirate, is basically convince them to do all the
lifting for me.
Most people think that a fraudster like myself try to outsmart you, or try to manipulate you to get you do what you don't want to do.
We do the opposite.
We always act dumber than we really are.
I'm always remembering Senator Sam Ervin during the famous
Watergate hearings, when he'd go, well, I'll just an old, dumb country lawyer.
Yeah.
Grab your wallet and run when somebody says that.
Guy's sharp as a nail.
And so what we fraudsters do is we act a little dumb.
I'd say to my accountant, I don't understand what it is you're doing.
So that when I give you my paperwork, if it's stinks, or doesn't look right, or isn't totally there, you forgive me.
Because you go, Mark doesn't understand what's going on here.
We set the expectation level low, rather than trying to blow you away with how clever and how sharp we are.
Then you basically, by accepting my work at some point, tell me what your benchmark is.
It can be high.
It can be low.
But as long as you tell me what it is, I'll always give you just exactly enough to squeak by.
And in that way, I get you to do the heavy lifting for me.
No fraudster would ever make it, ever, trying to force you to sign something you don't want sign.
Human nature won't let you do it.
But if you signed 100 things before, it's just another one, oh, and sign this one, too.
People get suspicious when they think they're trying to be forced into something.
What they have to be worried about is the exact opposite.
When they did it all themselves, and they wake up one day going, how did I how to talk myself into doing that?
This is the biggest irony.
Of that entire division, no one ever saw, or asked to see, one original source document.
They never saw one invoice that had been signed.
I did hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions using cashier's checks, where I would buy a cashier's check, which the check you use to buy a cashier's check is made out to the bank.
I would then take the cashier's check, I would Xerox it, because they were always made out to me.
The check was made out to me.
And I'd go cash it.
But I'd first Xerox it, then I would white out my name.
Then I'd type in the name of some bogus vendor, and give that Xerox copy back to the auditors.
Out of a few hundred million dollars worth of checks that were written, the auditors never saw one canceled cashier's check.
They would simply see the check I used to buy it, and my
Xerox copy, and they accepted that.
I can tell you, because see, since there never were any original documents, there only were Xerox's, that they didn't exist.
But isn't it ironic, not one person in that entire chain ever asked to see an original source document.
In the entire restoration division.
What's funny about it is the first time Barry Minkow ever made up a fake job, he didn't have an invoice to write on.
So he took one of our standard invoices that I would give to
Mrs. Housewife to clean her living room and dining room and hall carpets for $39.95.
He used that same invoice to draw up about a $50,000 insurance restoration bill.
And then that escalated to a couple hundred thousand dollars.
And pretty soon, he was drawing up fake work orders in the millions of dollars.
And the bid and acceptance was all the same piece of paper.
Also, it was the front side of one sheet of paper.
We would bid a $10 million construction job, and the entire bid and specifications would fit on the front side of one page.
Well, anyone who's ever done construction would tell you that a bid and acceptance for a $10 million job would look
like a small phone book.
And yet, we just did that on the front side of one page.
And no one ever said, is this the industry standard?
One day, one of the civil attorneys in the civil case, one of the plaintiff's attorneys came to me and said,
Mark, where there ever any questions you were afraid of?
And I said, yeah, like a million.
He said, could you just write down, during lunch today, some questions that if people had asked, you had no answer for?
Well, I wrote 200 of them in one lunch period.
And each one of those were the type where I really couldn't even dream up a fake answer.

It may not look like much now but this is actually going to turn into one of the three student lounges which is a really big step up from our old campus.

Right beside me is going to be the future home of the Nittany Lion.

Well that's it for our first look at our new building, I hope you're as excited as I am, and I hope to come back in a month or so and give you an updated look at our new building.
