Young Omar Khan really wanted to go to a school in the University of California system, but those are kind of difficult to get into, especially when you have a whole bunch of "F"s on your transcript like Omar did. So enterprising Omar tried something else: He hacked into the server at his prestigious Tesoro High School and changed all his "F"s to "A"s! Totally Ferris Bueller, right? Except that some of Khan's teachers caught whiff of his new and improved transcript and reported him to the authorities—now he's facing 69 counts of fraud, burglary, conspiracy, and a host of other no-nos that could net him 38 years in prison.

Our first thought: the kid is smart enough to figure out how to break into the school's computers, but dumb enough to give himself all "A"s? Why not give yourself some "B"s just to make it a little more believable? That's an "A" for bravado but an "F" for execution, Khan!

The fallout from this will be interesting. Tesoro High, which you might know as the school featured in Real Housewives of Orange County, is one of those hyper-competitive pressure cookers that regularly lands on Newsweek's list of best high schools in America.

According to the Orange County DA's office, "Subsequent investigation revealed that Mr. Khan was in possession of original tests, test questions and answers, and copies of his altered grades. Khan is accused of stealing master copies of tests, some of which were e-mailed to dozens of students." Now, college acceptance letters were mailed out months ago, which leaves Tesoro administrators in the uncomfortable position of having to investigate the matter fully to maintain credibility for future generations of students, but not wanting to cause uppity parents and kids to riot in the event that the investigation ends up naming names and results in rescinded offers.

As for Khan, don't feel too bad. Dude will probably end up with six months of probation, more than enough time for him to lay the groundwork for his billion-dollar software security company.
