A Reddit post unraveled a web of lies by a student at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.Aryan Anand, 19, pleaded guilty earlier this month in Northampton County.Anand had been enrolled, but a Reddit moderator flagged one of his posts.The post went on to describe how Anand falsified transcripts, financial statements and even provided a fraudulent death certificate for his father, who is actually alive.
"The defendant only had one other university that he followed, which was Lehigh University. So, the moderator actually reached out to Lehigh to give them a heads up," Weinert said. Anand faced the prospect of 10 to 20 years in prison, but at the behest of university officials, his punishment consists only of expulsion from the school and deportation back to India.
