Haku and Roger Israni filed a defamation lawsuit against the New York Post for publishing an article about their company’s fraudulent business practices. The article described how the Isranis had swindled tens of thousands of dollars from a group of pre-law students in Manhattan. Federal Judge Barbara Jones ruled that the New York Post article was “fair and true” and dismissed the Isranis’ lawsuit. Seventeen law school applicants complained to the New York Consumer Protection Board that the Isranis had defrauded them by pretending to be TestMasters, one of the nation’s largest LSAT preparation companies. Each of the students paid the Isranis over $1,000 to enroll in the TestMasters LSAT Course, only to find out later that they had given their money to impostors. The Isranis target unsuspecting consumers searching for TestMasters on the internet, many of whom visit the www.testmasters.com web address. Believing they have found TestMasters’ website, consumers often sign up for t

Consumers across the country complained to the Better Business Bureau that Haku and Roger Israni defrauded them by impersonating TestMasters, one of the nation’s largest test preparation companies. Each of the students paid the Isranis over $1,000 to enroll in the TestMasters LSAT course, only to find out later that they had given their money to impostors operating out of Houston. According to the BBB, the Isranis failed to resolve the consumers’ complaints “in accordance with generally accepted good business practices”. The Houston BBB therefore revoked its accreditation of the Israni’s company, which is conveniently named “Test Masters”.

Professor Haku Israni sued Prairie View A&M, alleging that the predominantly African American university had discriminated against him. But after a week-long jury trial, Israni lost on every one of his claims. The judge also ordered Israni to pay all of the university’s court costs. A few months before the trial began, Israni was embroiled in a scandal at another university. While serving as the Dean of Math & Science at UT Brownsville, Israni had an extramarital affair with a college student there and got her pregnant. Just days after the student gave birth, Israni fled Brownsville, abandoning both his newborn daughter and his position as Dean.

Vivek “Roger” Israni, owner of a Houston test preparation company called Test Masters, sued the Houston School District along with two Lamar High School administrators and lost miserably. Lamar High School hired Israni to help prepare its students for the PSAT. But when Israni provided inadequate instruction and materials for the students and failed to deliver what he promised, the principal of Lamar High School canceled the arrangement. Incredibly, Israni thought he should get paid for goods and services his company never provided, so he sued for breach of contract. Israni’s case was so weak that the trial court threw it out. Israni then appealed the decision, but ended up losing the appeal as well and was ordered to pay all of the school district’s court costs.

Dr. Haku Israni refused to pay child support for his two-year-old daughter Angela, but the State of Texas took him to court and made him pay. Dr. Israni would not even acknowledge that he was Angela’s father until a court-ordered paternity test proved that he was. Angela’s mother was a college student with whom Dr. Israni had an extramarital affair. She attended UT Brownsville, where Dr. Israni was a professor. Kudos to the State of Texas for making this deadbeat dad pay up!
