In a prior semester, we had a student who was copying classmates' online posts, modifying the posts, and then posting the modified comments as her own work in discussion forums. We discovered this was being done in three different classes. When I gave the student opportunities to admit her cheating, at first she denied doing so, then after several more opportunities, admitted to doing this on three posts when it was obvious that she had done this several dozen times in my class. She failed all three classes and was expelled from school. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/10/710985799/contract-cheating-colleges-crack-down-on-ghostwritten-essays

They contended that the defendant was personally liable because he was the sole shareholder of each corporation.
