Not really. Their websites market them as ''online courses'', and many people were actually expecting to recieve some coursework or something.Most if not all of their clientele would know what they are getting into...basically getting a degree without actually working for it !
But with involving the likes of John Kerry and a strong sales team these guys took it to the next level !
Also if the report is true whats interesting is this that they didn't launch these schemes in Pakistan.
Even if the clientelle knew what they were getting into, which I agree they probably did, legally they are not responsible since the websites advertised the services as legal and fair.
But I've got to admit, I like their guts. They impersonated the US State Department, created regulatory boards to certify their own 'universities', and ultimately even ended up ripping off the Manchester Police who had to open 700 cases because one of their forensic experts had a degree from one of these fraud universities.
