About an hr ago AP confirmed that the swindlers were frat bros, though they still haven't identified the frat. As I indicated this morning, it is the Alpha Tau Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. Significant? Probably not, but I'll bet finding the right one of their frat brothers & investing a few dollars at the closest bar would be very revealing indeed. What is interesting is that this particular frat has a tradition of passing an old rusty horseshoe down from chapter to chapter for good luck. A Buckeye supposedly found it on the way to the 1921 Conclave & kept it in his pocket until the new chapter was approved. Then it was lost during WWII & then it was discovered by what they call a Past Grand Prytanis, & then.... But I digress. This is the kind of thing which a good reporter could turn into an interesting sidebar story. Don't hold your breath.
