Gay Spat Reveals Yale “Scheme”

A gay lovers’ spat ended up outing an alleged con man.

Twenty-six year old Akash Maharaj stands accused of lying on his Yale application and “bilking” the university out of thousands of dollars and wasn’t found out until his boyfriend ratted him out, according to NY Post:

…The alleged scheme came tumbling down last June, when his Yalie lover filed a harassment complaint against him.

The beau said Maharaj had threatened to kill him when he tried to get the unstable student admitted into a Manhattan psych ward.

The lover later wound up telling a Yale professor that he had doubts about Maharaj’s identity, prompting an internal university investigation that culminated with fraud and larceny charges against Maharaj in the fall, the school newspaper said.

In addition to allegedly doctoring his application, Maharaj reportedly swiped $31,750 in financial aid from Yale, as well as more than $14,000 in federal aid and loans and $900 from a federal work-study program.

Maharaj denies the charges, claiming the only lie he told concerned his age, because he didn’t want to be older than his classmates. Yeah, that’s believable…
