A little more info on "Dr."Alan Phan of The Hartcourt Companies (OTCBB: HRCT) College The Sussex College of Technology

The Sussex College of Technology -- which cannot be located today through UK directory assistance -- was considered a diploma mill [12]. The 9th edition of Bear's Guide stated: "Sussex, England. Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorates in almost any field. Sussex is run from a large private home south of London. At the same address and with similar catalogs, are the Brantridge Forest School and the University of the Science of Man. They all offer "earned degrees' for which a few correspondence courses are required, and 'extension awards' which are for the same degrees and diplomas for no work at all. Honorary Doctorates are awarded free, but there is a $100 engraving and processing charge. Other programs cost from $100 to $500." [9] The 1999 edition of Bear's Guide states that "in 1988 a new British law came into effect forbidding such 'schools' to accept students who enrolled after May 1st." [13]
The Sussex College of Technology was operated by "Dr." Bruce Copen, who said that he became a doctor of homeopathy by completing a correspondence course in 1952. In 1990, he gave a Sussex Police Department investigator a letter from Caplinger specifying that: (a) his "doctor of science" degree should be be dated 105/87; (b) that his dissertation should be titled "Biochemical and Immunological Approaches to Cancer Therapy"; (c) his "transcript" show that he had completed 58 hours of study with a grade-point average of 4.00 (straight A's); and (d) the degree and paperwork should be sent by express mail. The letter had been accompanied by a $70 check [14].
