I’m not from the US and to be honest, it still sounds like something “normal”. That’s not a rumor. That’s just something that happened. A rumor is more like “I heard our ethics teacher has a wooden foot and that is because she got stuck in a bear trap when scaring off a weasel while comforting our biology teacher who found a corpse while scuba diving in the town’s lake.”
Unless the guy who tells it to you has direct involvement or there is public reports i’d say it is still a rumor. Because he heard it from someone who probably heard it from someone.
At least that’s what some guy at a bar told me the other day.

Yea but we don’t teach ethics in the US outside of a few specific occupations
