The falsifier was not the dumbest guy in the world. If you (as a customer) ordered more diplomas at once, you got discounts. All business aspects were dealt with via the internet. Only money transfers were dealt with personally, at a station or a hotel.
The customers (ordering diplomas) were condemned as well. Most of them got a community service task or a fine.
