fraud conversion theft by deception

Answer 1

Cecilia Lee the Marketing Director of HOK Operation in China Just Like Bernie Madoff and Tang Jun Falsified her Credits and Work History

Beijing, China August 2, 2010 – HOK is the global architectural firm that specializes in planning, design and delivery solutions for buildings and communities. Since the firm’s founding in 1955, HOK has developed into one of the world’s largest, most diverse and respected design practices. HOK employs more than 2,000 professionals linked across a global network of 23 offices on four continents. Over at HOK.com you will find plenty of gorgeous images showcasing of the creative work that HOK’s employees has created for their clients that are spread all over the world. Unfortunately, the creativity of at least one of HOK’s employees is not limited only to architecture, interiors, engineering, planning, but also in the creation of fabricated work history and credentials; and to other fraud and corrupt practices.

Just like in the case of Tang Jun, the former President of Microsoft's China operation, who seemed to embody the ideal of a successful, globally minded Chinese businessman, Cecilia Lee the Marketing Director of HOK operation in Beijing, China since 2005 titan's academic achievements were significantly embellished — a fact that doesn't seem to concern HOK legal department and President, but has nonetheless Tang Jun catalyzed a worldwide discussion on the place of integrity in Chinese society.

Earlier this month, Fang Zhouzi, who is known for exposing plagiarism and academic fraud in China, claimed that Tang Jun, who was the President of Microsoft's China operation from 2002 to 2004, had falsely claimed in his autobiography to have earned a doctorate from the California Institute of Technology. Fang also said the California-based Pacific Western University, which awarded Tang his PhD degree in electrical engineering, is actually a "diploma mill", where students can purchase degrees.

However, unlike in the case of Tang Jun, which at least he obtained a real Master Degree, Cecelia Lee has graduated from NO university in the Western Hemisphere and possesses no degree in economics, finance, and architecture or in law as she claims. Her claims of fame of earning dual Master’s Degrees, one of which, she obtained from Thunderbird School of Global Management, a private business school in the United States, and the first and oldest graduate school specializing in international management and global business and the second Master Degree from Arizona State University are fraudulent and fabricated at best.

Cecilia Lee: A Daughter of Chinese Scholars Committing Academic Fraud

Known to the Western World as Cecilia Lee was born in the Northern part of China in 1969 under the name Xiaoxi Li. Ironically, Cecilia Lee was born to well educated family and she grow up in Beijing Jiaotong University, where her father Professor Li Gen Cheng is teaching civil infrastructure and her mother Professor Cheng Gui Hua teaching architecture according to Cecilia. Cecilia Lee got married at least twice and divorced twice.

Cecelia Lee claims to be graduated student with Highway Engineering Degree from Tongji University in Shanghai, China. However, her Diploma submitted to Thunderbird is demonstrating that she has graduated from the Foreign Language Institute in Beijing.

Cecilia Lee for the past 5 and a half years has obtained numerous recognitions for her fabricated accomplishments including the recognition for Women in Business in China, which aims at empowering and recognizing women for their business successes and has been participating in national forums and in other public events on behalf of HOK introducing her fraudulent background in order to win business for HOK. I am challenging both HOK and Cecilia Lee collectedly and individually to prove me wrong publicly and to present the various said diplomas.”
