Has there ever been a case of murder or attempted murder involving a diploma mill -- not reckless homicide by a fake doctor, but wilful murder? I know that Ronald Pellar "once went to prison for trying to have a rival hypnotist murdered", but that wasn't related to his diploma mill. And I know that a rabbi associated with the Romanian mill has been accused of uttering a death threat, but not of attempting anything. Since I know of an attempted murder case in another arena of interest to me (the much smaller and one-would-think benign world of Lewis Carroll scholarship), I find it curious that I can't think of one in the diploma mill arena.
