Episode Details

A private tutor named Shahid Adnan stunned the UK education system by living extravagantly off stolen academic labor—driving luxury cars, owning a plush home, and raking in up to £2 million while posing as a legit tutor. His scheme unraveled when a student handed a USB drive to a lecturer, revealing Adnan’s company, Study Sharp Limited, had been submitting coursework and taking online exams for students using stolen logins. Bank records showed one student paid him £14,000 alone, and police found £5,500 cash and luxury vehicles at his residence. Adnan admitted to earning £250 per exam and confessed to working with students at Liverpool John Moores and Huddersfield Universities. He pleaded guilty to fraud, hacking, and money laundering and now faces three years in prison.
