DOJ announces takedown of fraudulent nursing degree operation

7,600 fake diplomas and certificates were sold through the crime ring, which allegedly involved school staffers knowingly providing fraudulent documents to aspiring nurses who paid up to $15,000 per diploma.

The U.S. Department of Justice on Wednesday announced the successful takedown of a sizable multi-state operation to distribute over $100 million worth of forged nursing degrees.

Through the scheme, “thousands of people” purchased fraudulent nursing credentials from now-defunct nursing schools in Florida, bypassing the process of earning official nursing licenses, as reported by today!
