I don't think that it is illegal to purchase or print up a bogus diploma anyplace in the USA. It is illegal to use a bogus degree to defraud someone anywhere in the USA. However, that is covered under the general fraudulent behavior laws, which are much more difficult to enforce. It is illegal to use unaccredited degrees in about nine states. This number is growing. For example seven years ago it was illegal to use an unaccredited degree in only one state, Florida. The residental state of my favorite fraud, Derek. >
