At what point does this start to fall under false advertising law? This space is just wildly unregulated and rife with fraud. Seems like the FTC should get involved.

They're busy with the accredited institutions backed by government dollars that are even worse

At least some of those institutions have widely-known reputations you can go off of. With these fly-by-night operations you never know what you're going to get.

There are 5,300 accredited universities and colleges in the United States.

How many do you think have a reputation that is widely known? 10%?
