Case #1:

Tang Jun, former president of Microsoft China Co Ltd from 2002 to 2004, received public criticism in 2010 for lying about his educational background. Tang claimed in his biography and LinkedIn profile that he earned a doctoral degree in computer science from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). However, it was found that his name and dissertation were not in the university's alumni library.

Following the revelations, Tang asserted that he received his doctoral degree from Pacific Western University and only did research in Caltech. However, netizens soon found that the school had been confirmed as a diploma mill by US authorities in 2004. Tang later admitted that he bought his degree for $3,000.
