*Note: The Stummer family has vigorously denied the charge of foul play in the loss of their credentials and other records based on the thin evidence of a chapter in Cheater von Stummer's self-help book, "How To Fake a Flood."
**Note: CFO Swifty Hustleman was the only candidate to successfully answer the question "how much is one and one?" His inspiring response convinced us that he would grow the value of Cheater U. His answer: How much do you want it to be?
***Note: Origin of the name of our founder.
Cheater von Stummer, given name Dick (von Stummer), acquired his moniker "cheater" in grade school. Dick was so adept at cheating his classmates in trading card transactions that his classmates and a neighborhood three-card-monte dealer heaped praise on him for this talent and dubbed him "cheater." Dick was so ecstatic from the accolades that he adopted the name "Cheater." From then on little Dick von Stummer became Cheater von Stummer. In a recent interview he revealed that when he hears his name (Cheater) it brings a smile to his face and energizes him for his business deals.
