Spokane diploma mill officer sentenced to prison

SPOKANE, Wash. —
A man described as the chief financial operator of a Spokane-based diploma mill has been sentenced to three years in federal prison.
Steven Karl Randock Sr. got the same sentence Tuesday that his wife, Dixie Ellen Randock, was given last month. Both pleaded guilty earlier to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, and charges of money laundering were dropped in exchange.
During six years, the Randocks and six others sold high school and college degrees from 121 fictitious online schools, as well as counterfeit diplomas and transcripts from 66 legitimate universities, government lawyers said. About 10,000 degrees were sold to more than 9,000 people.
Had they fought the charges and been convicted by a jury, the Randocks would have each faced more than seven years to nearly nine years in prison on the conspiracy charge alone.
Besides his prison term, Randock was sentenced to three years of court supervision and was ordered to forfeit his interest in more than $500,000 in seized cash and bank accounts, real property and a 2001 Jaguar XK8, U.S. Attorney James A. McDevitt said.
His wife has appealed her sentence.
Defense lawyer Peter S. Schweda asked in vain that Randock be sentenced to home detention because of health problems. Assistant U.S. Attorney George J.C. Jacobs countered that Randock, 69, would get adequate medical care in prison.
