About 4,000 doctors, ministers, educators and other professionals are working under fake diplomas from “schools” run by seven persons indicted in the FBI’s Dipscam probe, an FBI official said. The seven were indicted in Charlotte, N.C., on charges of conspiracy, mail fraud and wire fraud, bringing the total number of persons charged in Dipscam to 13. The previous six were found guilty. The FBI said the schools with the largest number of “graduates” are Northwestern College of Allied Science, with addresses in Tulsa, Okla., and Springfield, Mo.; American Western University in Tulsa, and Southwestern University in Tucson.
