Is your monthly salary about 4 million won with your authentic college degree (with transcripts required in a sealed envelope)?

No. They apparently were all Korean teachers.

Police said that since 1999 Lee had fraudulently claimed that he was an SNU graduate and taught Korean and comprehensive writing. He also accepted forged diplomas from 20 teachers he hired, earning a total 620 million won.

A 35-year-old teacher, identified as Sohn, had taken science courses at an institute for three months prior to his teaching job at Lee's institute....

Police said teachers earned up to 4 million won a month.

"Graduates from such high-profile colleges not only attract many students, but also gain much trust from the parents, which might have pressured them to fake their diplomas," the investigator said.

A graduate of the medical college of Korea University claimed he had majored in English, and taught English for five months. Police said he did it to pay off his debts....

Might as well. Heck, they can't even spot fake degreees from within their own country. What are the chances they'll be able to spot a fake degree from another country?

You should actually read the article, Junior.

And the last really high profile case of a whitey using a fake degree to milk large coin from Koreans the guy was a New Yorker.

Anyway, Junior, you should be praying to god or something. Not trashing the glory of his creation by sewing evil and lies. Good witness to your faith.
