Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Almost 10,000 people spent $7.3 million buying phony and counterfeit high school and college degrees from a Spokane diploma mill. The complete list of buyers, which the U.S. Department of Justice has refused to release to the public, has been obtained by The Spokesman-Review and published July 28.

This page lists people who purchased bogus or counterfeit degrees and certificates and have e-mail address extensions with .mil, .gov or .edu in them. This identifies them as working for the military or government, or attending or working for an education institution.

Some names are annotated with an asterisk (*). These individuals didn't necessarily buy degrees, but their names surfaced for various reasons during Operation Gold Seal, sources familiar with the investigation said Tuesday. They said these individuals should not be considered as confirmed degree buyers.
