Late last week, Chilean police arrived at Santiago’s Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral and removed a white bin of gray ash — allegedly all that remained of $500 million worth of student debt notes.
In the video, which went viral last week in Chile, Papas Fritas confessed he had recently stolen the documents from the for-profit Universidad del Mar. Then he set them ablaze in a defiant, brazen act of art.

How artful.
I asked my lawyer today if I could settle on the private student loans...got a very lawyer like answer...
but does this art piece matter in a digital age?
That is just so inspiring...
In similar news: The rolling jubilee is amazing. Using $70,000 raised, they have purchased and erased $14,000,000 and counting in debt.

Which goes to show that the gross profit on bad debt collection is 1/2 of 1%. Which is of course better than 0%.
