| The Canadian guy wasn't put in jail for a fake degree. He was jailed for visa fraud. |

Well, that is a technicality, is it not? Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the fraud in connection with the fake degree? If not, let me know. I could be wrong on that score. |

No, it's not a technicality. He committed visa fraud. Part of the fraud was using a fake degree but the main point is that he falsified information for his visa. Had a non-Canadian done that to obtain a visa to enter Canada, they would be facing more time in a Canadian jail than this dude served in one of Korea's confinement facilities.
The ex-prof does not need a visa to enter Korea as she's a Korean citizen. She's facing (or should face) a number of charges, but visa fraud will not be one of them. |

Most civilized countries presumably have legislation prohibiting credential fraud. |

| And for visa fraud. That's why he got jailed. |

| What about fleeing the country during an on going criminal investigation?? That is what Shin did. She got out as soon as she got wind (presumably from her boyfriend in the Blue House) that the police were going to investigate her. Would fleeing the county to avoid persecution not be a serious offense? Is that not a bigger crime than visa fraud?? |

| I'd think so, but apparently the judge here doesn't agree with you and me. After all, he rejected the prosecution's request for an arrest warrant. |

Well, according to the marmot she has taken the hitherto successful route.
She has checked into hospital and donned the PJs.
FFS this is so bloody transparent. Who in their right mind would have sympathy for this fraud.
Apparently she is dehydrated, but she can eat junk food. The only reason to check into hospital for dehydration is if you can't keep water down.
Korean law and law breakers are really none of my business, but I'm getting sick of these bloody criminals getting away with their b*llshit. |

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. Several college football coaches have falsified their credentials, the most notable being someone named George O'Leary.

he never faced any criminal charges. he just lost his job.
This Korean woman is also facing charges that she siphoned off grant money for personal use. That is what they are also trying to get her for.
Lying on your resume to get a job isn't an offense. Practically everyone does it to some degree. Exaggerating the job responsibility for example. |
