I don’t really think stopping cheating/blatant rule violation is “ball busting.” It seems like bamboo is taking the high road and accepting responsibility, which I applaud. Blaming the proctors is unproductive.
I am based in China, and I called LSAC, asking if I could register the August LSAT (US region). They told me it would be a violation if I take the test in a region outside the US.
