This too. People are acting like he saved these people. All he did was let them off the hook for debts they willingly took out. Just because the statue of limitations ran out on lawsuits or the debts were so small they weren't worth suing for doesn't mean they weren't owed.
Pay your debts or don't take out loans you can't or won't pay. Pretty simple. Of course life can throw you a curveball like it did me. Either work on paying them off little by little or if they're too much, file bankruptcy and deal with the aftermath. But someone did give these people money and they didn't pay it back. That's no different then going into Walmart and walking out with a TV you didn't pay for. They're entitled to the money.
