Validential

[Johann]

Alpha: "I'm guessing that there's some random Axact executive behind Validential." 
Johann: Have you ever known Axact to have a "random" anybody? And I don't think validating other people's documents at a couple of hundred dollars a pop would be a business model for them. Validating their own Axact diplomas at a couple of thou - more like it. 

Axact seems to have a lot of organizational skill. I wish they'd use some of it to put some order in the Pakistani Government. It sorely needs it.

Well, the fact is that I don't really know much about Axact, the structure of the organization, how many people work for them, all the places where they are located, etc.  I just think of them as a bunch of crooks who probably have their hands in all sort of illegal ventures.  Perhaps you're more of an expert on these matters and so if you want to assure me that Axact is not involved then I am happy to accept that as the truth.

I'm no expert, but I took an interest when I became aware of the size and scope of their operations. Hundreds of "schools," many fake accreditors etc. At the risk of paying crooks a compliment -- they are very well organized. That's pretty obvious, even to a casual reader / observer. That's why I made my remark. 

Their home base is, of course, in Pakistan. But they have representation in other countries. In fact, one high-ranking  Axact employee was sentenced to prison in the US.  https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/pak...-mill-scam The collapse of all court proceedings against them in Pakistan proves, at least to me, that  they have somehow achieved immunity from prosecution in their home country. That  says something, to me.

This is an old NY Times article - 2015. But it is a good primer on Axact. They'll continue to be with us for a long time, I'm pretty sure. . https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/18/world...rkley.html

Validential? Not in the same league. Not even close.
