Connecticut Attorney General Takes Legal Action Against Stone Academy and Paier College Owner

Connecticut's attorney general has filed a lawsuit against the owner of Stone Academy and Paier College Art School, alleging numerous violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. The for-profit Stone Academy nursing school abruptly closed, leaving hundreds of nursing students in limbo. The attorney general is seeking to attach millions of dollars of assets, including the owner's mansion, to prevent the defendants from evading accountability. The lawsuit claims that the schools engaged in unfair conduct and willfully deceived students. The attorney general is demanding penalties and restitution for the affected students.
