A bit of a gripe. (Warning) Do not go to a coding bootcamp right now.

I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment but I think you need evidence that the bootcamp made specific claims and evidence that they knew those claims were false and intentionally told them to mislead. I have a lot of evidence from a lot of bootcamps about things they said sound a little sketchy, and evidence that reality wasn't lining up. But to show that they genuinely knew this and that it was just a bad interpretation, a miscommunication, an issue of misunderstanding fine print and definition, it's really hard. BloomTech is one of the schools with a lot of pressure on it because of statements it made that some people felt were misleading. Despite settlements and lawsuits and regulators, no one has been criminally convicted of fraud there.
