>As part of our research, we purchased a similar black market Russian medical degree from the same school, with the same claimed major, the same date, and the same “official” stamp as Gumrukcu’s. The process was surprisingly easy—the hardest part was smuggling it out of Russia through a neighboring country to the U.S., given new wartime export restrictions.
Wow... that's... interesting. Did their lawyers sign off on that?
- jhugo 4y agoDo you think any laws were broken? I'm not certain. Purchasing a fake degree most likely isn't a crime (passing it off as a real one most likely is, perhaps depending on context). Exporting a piece of paper from Russia is also probably OK, even with the sanctions? You'd want to be sure you didn't pay any sanctioned people, but that's probably not that hard. I imagine that the hard part might mostly be that the usual obvious shipping services aren't usable now if they've ceased operations in Russia.
