I spelled cat with a "6" and still I didn't find the article!
"What a revolting development this is!
Should have given their degree-granting a cat-scan."
Perhaps a lab-report is forthcoming.

Read the article...it saves a lot of time and aggravation.
"Trinity Southern University in Texas, a cellular company and the two brothers who ran them are accused of misappropriating Internet addresses of the state Senate and more than 60 Pennsylvania businesses to sell fake degrees and prescription drugs by spam e-mail, according to the lawsuit.
"Prosecutors said more than 18,000 illegal e-mails were sent out this year with links to Trinity Southern's Web address, including 300 that appeared to originate from the Internet servers of Pennsylvania companies and institutions
"Among the alleged victims are Penn State University and the University of Pennsylvania, as well as numerous Internet service providers, businesses and technology companies."
In case it still isn't clear, this wasn't a simple scam to sell degrees. It's illegal drug sales, spamming, slamming, spoofing and hijacking. The PA AG sued in order to get the FBI involved. Since it's published news, the investigation is probably finished. Next up : charges, followed by other universities or politicos etc across the country stepping up with THEIR complaints, followed by indictments coinciding with arrests, followed by trials.
Obviously they didn't realize there was a performance claws.
Sorry.

Looks like Kent Hovind and Laura Callahan are getting company.
Damn, I knew it was either a tilde or an umlout!
I even wrote it in chinese charaters, long and short form!
Yeah, the cat's out of the bag on bogus degrees!
Two of my cats are jealous, and the other thinks she's smarter than any human with a degree anyway. ;)
