While some people pretend to go to Ivy League schools to hide their royal lineage, we here at IvyGate prefer our impostors with a bit more edge. Thankfully our favorite fake Yalie Akash Maharaj has obliged us!

When we last left Akash in spring, he was busy trying to save his social security number from our comment boards, but now I bet he wishes someone could steal his identity because he’ll probably be headed to prison very soon.

Akash recently plead guilty to the charge of larceny in the first degree and waits to be sentenced on September 5th. But he only forged transcripts! What did he steal? Oh, just a little over $30,000 in financial aid. And Yale wants it all back. In fact, according to the Connecticut Attorney General in the Yale Daily News, “The severity of Maharaj’s sentence will likely depend on the extent to which Yale receives restitution.”

In yet Akash seems to have taken some legal advice from Bobby Brown and DMX and attempted to make all this justice nonsense go away by just not showing up:

...Maharaj skipped another court date — what was supposed to be a hearing to apply for a form of probation that could have eventually wiped his criminal record.
But Maharaj, 27, did not show. His attorney, Glenn Conway, had told Maharaj he had to appear in court unless he was in a hospital. So, in Judge Richard Damiani’s words, Maharaj “conveniently” checked into one.
Visibly unsympathetic, Damiani ordered Maharaj rearrested...

After the jump: the legal proceedings might be coming to an end, but Akash is unfortunately not out of the woods.

The Yale Daily News reports that because of his plea bargain, Akash probably won’t have to deal with those other pesky criminal charges of forgery and violation of a restraining order. But he will certainly have to deal with the person who filed the restraining order in the first place.

Yes, scorned lover Victor Cazares may yet have something in store for Akash. After all, it was his act of revenge that started this whole thing.

Akash did happen to receive an official deportation warning, but Victor couldn’t have anything to do with that, right? Right?
