Seattle Times: Husband, daughter of Spokane diploma mill operator enter pleas
The husband and daughter of a woman who operated a Spokane-based diploma mill have pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud.
Eastern Washington U.S. Attorney James A. McDevitt says 68-year-old Steven K. Randock Sr. and 39-year-old Heidi Kae Lorhan entered pleas similar to that entered Wednesday by Dixie E. Randock.
An indictment returned in 2005 says the Randocks and others used a string of fictional online universities to sell bogus college degrees and transcripts to more than 8,200 customers around the world.
Investigators allege the operation took in $5 million.
