A friend of mine also became an "accredited" investor through the simple expedient of lying on the form. Many financial services companies don't bother to verify investor income and assets.

It's not a matter of bothering, the ones that don't do general solicitation or are less than $150mm AUM don't have to actually verify. Which is good because LPs get mad when you ask them for tax returns.
