FRAUDULENT DEGREES FEDS COVERING UP
http://pittsburghlive.com/x/dailycou.../s_328132.html
Children's counselor charged with fraud By Marsha Forys TRIBUNE-REVIEW Tuesday, April 26, 2005 A Connellsville man is accused of working as a children's mental health counselor to state medical assistance recipients for almost three years without having the proper qualifications. Leon Edward Shal Jr., 60, of 420 S. Eighth St., faces charges of complicity, welfare fraud, theft by deception and insurance fraud, filed by the state Attorney General's Office after a yearlong investigation. Shal was a member of the therapeutic support staff at Connellsville Psychological and Counseling Services, 41 S. Pittsburgh St., from April 2000 to February 2003, according to court documents. During that time, he allegedly counseled numerous young patients -- all of whom were clients of the state Department of Public Welfare, Medical Assistance Program, and he billed the state for his services through Richard W. Pritts, his employer, and Value Behavioral Health of Pennsylvania Inc., a health maintenance organization contracted by Fayette County. The type of services allegedly offered by Shal required that the provider have an education that includes, at minimum, a bachelor's degree. Shal allegedly told his employer he obtained his degree from Shaftesbury University, in the United Kingdom, in 1986. However, the state's investigation revealed that, not only did Shal's university diploma contain two misspellings, but the institution is not recognized, or accredited, in the United Kingdom or the U.S. And while the school claims to be accredited by the European Committee for Home and Online Education, that institution also is not recognized in the United Kingdom or the U.S. The state further claims that Shal, when counseling medical assistance patients, was required by state law to do so one-on-one, yet billing information obtained by investigators showed that he had on numerous occasions billed the state for treating two or more patients at the same time, according to court documents. The state's investigation allegedly found that Value Behavioral Health had paid Connellsville Counseling and Psychological Services almost $150,000 for therapy services allegedly rendered by Shal during the three years he worked at the clinic. Shal was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Ronald Haggerty Sr., of Connellsville, and remains free on $20,000 unsecured bond. A preliminary hearing has been set for June 2 before Haggerty. http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cf...id=35281&sid=4 October 17, 2006 Trial that could out feds alleged to have bogus degrees delayed By Karen Rutzick Names of 135 federal employees who allegedly bought fake diplomas from an outfit in the western United States will not be revealed for at least one year, if ever, according to a U.S attorney's office. Last week in Spokane, Wash., during a pretrial hearing for eight people accused of selling counterfeit degrees from nonexistent universities, a defense attorney told the judge that employees from the National Security Agency and the Health and Human Services, Justice and State departments were among 6,000 people who bought the diplomas, according to the Associated Press. The AP also reported that Peter Schweda, attorney for alleged diploma mill operator Steven Randock, said the names of 135 government employees who supposedly purchased the degrees for promotions or pay raises would be released during the course of the trial. The trial will not start for another year, though. Judge Lonny Suko of the District Court of the Eastern District of Washington delayed it until Oct. 1, 2007, to give attorneys more time to prepare. Suko said more than 150,000 pages of e-mails, 40 CDs of documents and up to 50 witnesses will be used. Tom Rice, a spokesman for the U.S attorney's office in Spokane, Wash., which is prosecuting the case, said Schweda's assertions that government purchasers would be revealed "were not necessarily accurate." Rice also said he cannot confirm or deny that there is a separate Justice Department investigation into federal purchasers of the fake degrees. The case was built around a sting operation by a handful of Secret Service agents. "It has been said that [names] may become available in that trial, but sitting here discussing it with you, I don't see how it's relevant to the Randock trial who purchased them," Rice said. "That'd be like saying everybody who used cocaine would be introduced in the trial of Manuel Noriega." The 40-page indictment for defendants Steven Randock, Dixie Randock, Richard Novak, Blake Carlson, Amy Hensley, Heidi Lorhan, Roberta Markishtum and Kenneth Pearson accuses them of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, among other offenses. Pearson pleaded guilty last week. The defendants allegedly set up a number of bogus universities, including "Saint Regis University," "James Monroe University" and "Trinity Christian School." They then sold diplomas and fake transcripts without requiring any coursework or testing. One of the fake universities, "Robertstown University," used a photograph of Blenheim Castle, the birthplace of Winston Churchill and home of the Duke of Marlborough, to depict its campus on a Web site, according to the indictment. In 2004, the Office of Personnel Management held seminars to train federal managers on spotting fake degrees. OPM and congressional overseers stepped up efforts to thwart diploma mills after Laura Callahan, a senior director in the Homeland Security Department chief information officer's office, was found to have purchased her degrees from an alleged diploma mill in Wyoming. OPM did not respond to requests for comment on any current investigation into federal employees involved in the Randock case.

(Diploma Mill Fraud Case) U. S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Eastern District of Washington 300 United States Courthouse 509/353-2767 Post Office Box 1494 FAX (509) 353-2766 Spokane, Washington 99210-1494 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Contact: James A. McDevitt, United States Attorney Telephone No. (509) 353-2767 Thomas O. Rice, Criminal Chief Telephone No. (509) 353-2767 OWNERS AND EMPLOYEES OF DIPLOMA MILL INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT WIRE FRAUD, MAIL FRAUD AND MONEY LAUNDERING Spokane - Today, James A. McDevitt, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, announced that a Federal Grand Jury in the Eastern District of Washington returned a three-count Indictment charging eight individuals with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud. According to the 40-page Indictment, Dixie Ellen Randock, Steven Karl Randock, Sr., Blake Allan Carlson, Heidi Kae Lorhan, Amy Leann Hensley, Roberta Lynn Markishtum, and Kenneth Wade Pearson, using the internet, conspired to manufacture, print, and sell fraudulent academic products, i.e., high school diplomas, college and graduate-level degrees, and related documents to consumers throughout the world so those consumers could get hired or promoted in their jobs or obtain H1B Visas. Thousands of degrees were sold. The Indictment alleges that Colbert, Washington residents, Dixie Ellen Randock and Steven Karl Randock, Sr. owned several diploma mills and related businesses, including "Saint Regis University," Robertstown University," "James Monroe University," James Monroe University High School," and Trinity Christian School." According to the Indictment, by accessing one of those websites and paying fees between $399 and $2,454, consumers could be "evaluated" for a degree by Heidi Kae Lorhan, a high school dropout, and Amy Leann Hensley. Alternatively, a consumer could access one of their websites and take a 125-question test, answer only twenty-five percent of the questions correctly, and be awarded a high school diploma. The degrees and related documents would then be printed and shipped to consumer throughout the world. According to the Indictment, to make the degrees look official, Spokane businessman, Blake Allan Carlson, manufactured fraudulent rubber stamps and seals, and Spokane resident, Kenneth Wade Pearson, acted as the web server for several of the diploma mill websites. According to the Indictment, Mead, Washington resident, Roberta Lynn Markishtum, printed some of the fraudulent documents and falsely confirmed via telephone to employers and potential employers that the degrees purchased were valid. As part of the scheme to defraud, the Indictment alleges that Dixie Ellen Randock and Steven Karl Randock, Sr. also caused a fabricated website to be created, which posed as the official and legitimate government website of the Liberian Embassy in Washington, D.C. The Indictment also alleges that Peoria, Arizona resident, Richard John Novak, worked as a "consultant" to process the fraudulent degrees sold to foreign consumers. The Indictment also alleges that a Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, while acting in an undercover capacity as a retired Syrian military officer who wanted to quickly obtain an H1B Visa, and using the undercover name Mohammed Syed, was able to purchase from "James Monroe University" degrees in chemistry and environmental engineering. Dixie Ellen Randock and Steven Karl Randock, Sr. are also charged with conspiring to launder $1,026,874.80 as a result of the diploma mill scheme. The Indictment seeks forfeiture of the Randock's property and other assets including their Colbert home, approximately $55,000 in U.S. currency and $480,000 in various bank accounts, and a 2001 Jaguar. If convicted of the wire and mail fraud conspiracy, each defendant could be sentenced to up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, the payment of restitution, and a $100 special penalty assessment. If convicted of the money laundering conspiracy, Dixie Ellen Randock and Steven Karl Randock, Sr. could be sentenced to up to twenty years in prison, a $500,000 fine or twice the amount of money laundered, five years of supervised release, and a special penalty assessment of $100. The case is being investigated by a multi-agency task force led by the United States Secret Service, in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, Department of Treasury, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Washington State Attorney General's Office, the Spokane Police Department, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Washington. The case is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, George J.C. Jacobs, III. The United States Attorney's Office in Spokane has established a 1-800 number if you believe that you were a victim of the fraud or can provide information to the investigators. The telephone number is 1-800-775-6357. An Indictment provides notice to the individual of the crimes he/she is alleged to have committed. Each individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Penny Pass Executive Assistant U. S. Attorney's Office Post Office Box 1494 Spokane, WA 99210 (509) 353-2767 (509) 353-2766 Fax http://web.hep.uiuc.edu/home/g-golli...ctments_SR.htm Thursday, October 6, 2005 Indictments accuse eight of running diploma mills Spokane operation allegedly sold thousands of fraudulent degrees Bill Morlin Staff writer October 6, 2005 For the first time in the United States, federal investigators in Spokane have obtained indictments against eight people accused of operating Internet-based diploma mills, making millions by selling bogus college degrees and "defrauding consumers worldwide." The 40-page indictment accuses the eight of conspiring to commit wire and mail fraud during the past six years as they operated out of businesses in Mead and Hillyard, and a Post Falls office complex. Accused masterminds Dixie Ellen Randock and her husband, Steven Karl Randock, both of Colbert, also were indicted for conspiracy to launder more than $1 million they collected from selling bogus degrees. The indictment alleges that during the past six years the Spokane-based operation sold "thousands of degrees," using various diploma mills including Saint Regis University, Robertstown University, James Monroe University and Trinity Christian School. The indictment also seeks criminal forfeiture of the Randocks' late-model Jaguar, their home and acreage at 3127 E. River Glen Drive, and $536,517 that federal agents seized in a series of searches in August. The Randocks also will be liable for repayment of the money they received as the result of selling the bogus degrees, many of them to foreign nationals who used the credentials to fraudulently obtain easier entry to the United States. Also named in the indictment was Dixie Randock's daughter, Heidi Kae Lorhan, a high-school dropout who worked as an "evaluator" for applicants seeking bogus high school and college degrees. Others indicted were Blake Alan Carlson, a Hillyard stamp shop owner and co-founder of World Chapel Ministries; Amy Leann Hensley; Roberta Lynn Markishtum and Kenneth Wade Pearson, all Spokane residents who worked for the Randocks' operations. Also indicted in the mail and wire fraud conspiracy was Richard John Novak of Peoria, Ariz. Novak is accused of helping set up a meeting in Washington, D.C., where a top-ranking Liberian diplomat was secretly videotaped soliciting bribes from the Randocks. They are accused of using the Board of Education in Liberia to accredit their various diploma mills and sell accreditations to similar on-line operations. "It's a significant case," said U.S. Attorney James A. McDevitt. The allegations "again demonstrate that the Internet can be both a benefit and a burden to all of us," said the region's federal crime chief. "Here's something that was done exclusively on the Internet, and look at the significance of the allegations," McDevitt said. "The second point is that many of the buyers were foreign nationals who obtained deferred status and could gain entry into the country with less-than-authentic credentials." Related court documents say half the degrees were sold to overseas purchasers, a majority of whom were "students" from Saudi Arabia. That revelation caused concern for investigators who said foreign nationals, including potential terrorists, could more easily gain entry to the United States with the fraudulent degrees. The grand jury indictment came at the end of a nine-month task force investigation, led by the U.S. Secret Service, and also involving the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Postal Inspection Service, the Washington State Attorney General's Office and the Spokane Police Department. The defendants are accused of using Internet Web sites to manufacture, print and sell fraudulent academic products, including high school diplomas and college and graduate-level degrees and related documents. The federal investigation was launched after a November 2003 story in The Spokesman-Review detailed the Spokane-based diploma mills. "These degrees were sold to consumers throughout the world so those (people) could get hired or promoted in their jobs or obtain H1B (educational) visas," said Tom Rice and George Jacobs, assistant U.S. attorneys who supervised the investigation. Left unanswered is whether the Justice Department intends to prosecute consumers, including teachers and federal employees, who knew they were buying bogus degrees and used them for better-paying jobs. A half dozen unemployed auto workers in Indiana used $42,000 in federal educational retraining money to buy worthless advanced degrees from the Spokane-based diploma mills. "The operators of these 'universities' created a sophisticated web of supporting infrastructure using the Internet which gave the operation an aura of legitimacy," said Kevin M. Miller, agent in charge of the Spokane office of the Secret Service. The defendants "built networks of fake government agencies, accrediting organizations, and credential evaluators." "The investigation continues to determine if these documents have been used by individuals to enroll for advanced degrees in U.S. and foreign universities or to seek employment and promotion in both public and private sector companies to include those involved in critical infrastructure," Miller said. To make the degrees look official, Carlson manufactured fraudulent rubber stamps and seals, and Pearson acted as the Webmaster for several of the diploma mill Web sites, the indictment alleges. Markishtum is accused of printing some of the fraudulent documents and falsely confirmed via telephone to employers and potential employers that the degrees purchased were valid, the indictment further alleges. As part of the scheme to defraud, the Randocks caused a fabricated Web site to be created, which posed as the official and legitimate Web site of the Liberian Embassy in Washington, D.C., the indictment said. If convicted of the wire and mail fraud conspiracy, the defendants face a maximum of five years in prison. The money laundering charge carries a maximum of 20 years in prison, and a $500,000 fine. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...mamill07m.html Friday, October 7, 2005 - 12:00 AM Diploma-mill charges: degrees of deception By Maureen O'Hagan Seattle Times staff reporter With little more than a network of Web sites, telephones and bank accounts, a group of eight people ran a million-dollar diploma business that churned out thousands of bogus degrees, according to a federal indictment. The group, which ran St. Regis University and several related businesses, was based in the Spokane area, although it purported to run accredited colleges in Liberia. About half of the diplomas issued by the group went to foreigners, leading authorities to worry that some may use their phony degrees to qualify for U.S. work visas. The indictment does not allege anyone used a bogus diploma to get into the country. However, a Secret Service agent posing as a retired Syrian military officer seeking a work visa was able to buy degrees in engineering and chemistry, according to the indictment. "We're concerned about it and it continues to be under investigation," said Thomas Rice, chief criminal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Spokane. The elaborate deception included online photos of what were supposed to be campuses in Liberia, including a photo of Blenheim Castle in England, where Winston Churchill was born, the indictment states. The group also allegedly tried to hire Liberian professors - not to teach classes but to answer phone calls. Named in the indictment, handed down Wednesday, are Dixie Ellen Randock, Steven Karl Randock Sr., Richard John Novak, Blake Alan Carlson, Amy Leann Hensley, Heidi Kae Lorhan, Roberta Markishtum and Kenneth Pearson, all charged with mail fraud. In addition, the Randocks are charged with money laundering. The U.S. Attorney is also seeking to seize a number of assets, including $480,000 in bank accounts and a 2001 Jaguar. A phone message left last night for the Randocks was not immediately returned, and it was not known if they had hired lawyers. Big business The diploma-mill phenomenon is vast and thriving, according to national experts, and relies on the Internet and e-mail to attract customers. It recently made local news when it was discovered that King County sheriff candidate and department veteran Jim Fuda took advantage of a Sheriff's Office perk and obtained an online diploma to get a 2 percent pay raise. Fuda said he simply submitted his diploma and got the raise, so he assumed there was nothing wrong. The indictments, handed down out of the Eastern District of Washington, portray a well-thought-out operation. The group operated diploma mills under a variety of names, including James Monroe University and Trinity Christian School as well as St. Regis, according to the indictment. The schools offered degrees from high school to doctorate for $400 to nearly $2,500. The indictment said the diplomas, complete with official-looking seals, came with phony transcripts and grade-point averages, and that course descriptions were cut and pasted from other Internet sites. But the group offered much more than paper, according to the indictment. They set up "verification" businesses, with telephones manned by group members in case an employer called to ask questions. And they even created a business to "accredit" the diploma mills as a way to make them seem legitimate, the indictment alleges. The indictment quotes an e-mail from Dixie Randock to another defendant demanding "someone ... answer the damn phones and say we are fully accredited" in Liberia. Randock allegedly wanted to hire Liberian professors for $50 to $100 a month to answer phone or e-mail questions. "The first time they do not say the right thing, their money gets cut off permanently," the e-mail states. Evaluating visas One of the related businesses purported to evaluate credentials for an H1B visa, which has authorities concerned that a foreigner may use a bogus diploma to get into the United States, according to Rice of the U.S. Attorney's Office. To get an H1B visa, a foreigner must be sponsored by an employer and have at least a bachelor's degree in a specialty occupation, such as chemical engineer, said Steve Miller, a Seattle immigration lawyer. The number of H1B visas is limited and employers pay thousands of dollars for them, including a fee intended to help weed out fraud. St. Regis is not affiliated with any similarly named schools, including Regis University of Colorado. An arraignment is set for Oct. 27. Mail fraud carries a possible sentence of up to five years in prison. Money laundering has a possible sentence of 20 years. The St. Regis Web site has been taken down, although one blurb remains: "Special Notice to St. Regis University Students & Alumni: The admissions office of St. Regis University is no longer accepting applications." Federal Judge Hides Names Of 135 U.S. Federal Goverment Employees Who Purchased Bogus Degrees, For At Least A Year, Probably Forever - Includes NSA, Department Of Justice, HHS, And State Department Employees... SPOKANE, WASHINGTON - Names of 135 federal employees who allegedly bought fake diplomas from an outfit in the western United States will not be revealed for at least one year, if ever, according to a U.S attorney's office.
