DOJ keeps secret a list of 10,815 people who bought bogus degrees from diploma mill
The Department of Justice is keeping secret a list of 10,815 people who bought fake degrees from a Spokane, Wash., diploma mill to get promotions and enhanced retirements, including people from countries that harbor terrorists. Court hearings showed that at least one of the purchasers worked in the White House and dozens others were Department of Defense employees, according to a story by the Spokesman-Review. The diploma mill was shut down and its owner and seven others were sent to prison for selling bogus degrees and fake diplomas to real universities. Thirty-two of the buyers were from "terrorist nation states," including Iran and Syria.
The Department of Justice and Office of Personnel Management have refused to provide the list to the public, despite admitting that having underprepared cheaters in health care, engineering and other professions "puts the public at risk." The reason they won't tell people who has false credentials? Agency "policy." I guess that confirms the Justice Department operates under a policy of secrecy, even when it hurts the public and defies all logic.
Find out if diploma mills are being investigated in your area and request the list of cheaters. If enough journalists go after that information (great stories and a public service!), maybe the government will see the light.
