The South Florida Business Journal reported late this afternoon that the former CEO, Alejandro Amor, 56, (pictured above), was arrested and appeared in federal court in Miami today, along with former admissions officers Jose W. Gonzalez, Michael Grubbs, and Anthony Mincey. The 15-count indictment charged the four with theft of government funds, and each could face five years in prison.
FastTrain, founded in 1999, operated campuses in the Florida communities of Miami, Plantation, Tampa, Jacksonville, Pembroke Pines, and Clearwater. FastTrain and Amor built especially strong ties to U.S. Representative Alcee Hastings (D-FL). Amor gave campaign contributions to Hastings, as well as Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former Governor Charlie Crist, and the Florida Republican Party.
