Once you admit to fraud, though, they have no idea what else you might be lying about -- including the admission itself. They can't exactly call his old professor to confirm that he built and used a cheating machine.

Plus, after you admit to doing it once, if I weren't the sort to reject you outright, I'd still call every single person and institution on your resume to confirm all of those were real. Right out of the gate, you're proving yourself to be a lot more trouble than anyone else I'm interviewing.

It sounds like mostly luck that they weren't caught before. Are they going to try again, at my company? I don't want my company's legal footing to rest on one person thinking they'll never get caught.
