          examination.  In that year, petitioner paid refunds of $46,165              
          from the Sanwa account.  Overall, petitioner withdrew $257,129              
          from the Sanwa account during 1991.                                         
               Petitioner also had a term savings account at World Savings            
          and Loan Association (World Savings).  He opened the account on             
          July 23, 1990, with a $50,000 deposit.  The savings account was             
          in petitioner’s name and was not designated a trust account.                
          After making the initial $50,000 deposit in 1990, petitioner did            
          not deposit any additional money into the World Savings account.            
          In particular, he did not deposit any of the tuition from the               
          summer 1991 or winter 1992 guaranteed review courses into the               
          account.  Petitioner deposited the tuition paid during 1991 into            
          the Sanwa account and did not transfer any money between the two            
          accounts.                                                                   
               Petitioner maintained the account at World Savings until               
          1994.  Throughout the term of the account, petitioner never made            
          any withdrawals from it.  He did not pay any refunds to                     
          guaranteed students who failed the bar examination from the World           
          Savings account.  Nor did petitioner withdraw money from the                
          account when guaranteed students passed the bar examination.                
          Petitioner allowed the interest earned on the account to                    
          accumulate and did not pay the interest over to the guaranteed              
          students.  Petitioners reported the interest income from the                
          account on their 1991 tax returns.
