What kind of person is Li Cao?
: She studied in a small college named Beijing Institute of Clothing
: Technology for textile. It was an unrecognized college, which made her
: dream of going to United States difficult. Her grades were not good,
: textile is too narrow a field to apply for graduate school in US. So she
: forged transcript, diplomas and applied to University of Cincinnati. With
: the help of some guy in the university under the promise of she might marry
: him, she got admission from university of Cincinnati and thus entry into
: US. Of course, once she was in US, she did not talk to that guy anymore.
: That guy was just a “tool”. She was happy. She did everything in her own
: way: using forged academic document and manipulated a guy who wanted a
: wife.
: Then she found life was not good. She did not have Scholarship to support
: her living and she had to work part time on a low pay job in the café.
: Then she worked at a part time job in international student center. These
: were not the kind of jobs a graduate student wanted because they are
: totally unrelated to the research. But she is looking for an opportunity, a
: tool to get to good life, quietly.
: Then opportunity came, she met her future husband, Ziyi Dai who is smart
: (graduated from the best University in China), young and studying in a very
: promising field --- semiconductor chip area, which has lots of high paid
: jobs. His family was relatively well off. She realized this was her
: opportunity. Ziyi was hardworking and fell in love with her appeared “
: innocence”.
: She realized that innocence was the key to attract Ziyi. Then
: Ziyi got lots of job offers. One of them is in Minneapolis, which has
: University of Minnesota, a much better school. So she suggested marriage
: and wanted Ziyi to support her go to University of Minnesota financially.
: Ziyi was in love with her and of course agreed. Suddenly, she got out of
: desperation of being sick, in debt and no job in her own way again. Of
: course, she would not tell she was going to use forged documents to apply
: to school. She would not tell that Ziyi was just another “tool” of her to
: get to good life.
: Ziyi has savings from parents and a high paid job. So life became really
: good for Li Cao. Ziyi paid her debt, spent thousands of dollars to fix her
: almost completely damaged teeth, had good health insurance to cure her
: disease. Ziyi took her to vacations to Duluth, Chicago, Islands in Florida,
: frequent dining in good restaurants. Now she also had good clothes,
: expensive makeup and life was good. Ziyi’s career was getting better and
: better in computer industry. Li Cao was happy.
: Then she was an ambitious woman. All these were not enough, Ziyi was just a
: temporary tool in her life. She wanted more. Of course, Ziyi could not know
: about this. She continued to play “innocent”. But she had her plan. She
: knew she had advantage to going to academic as a woman. So she gave gifts
: to professors and advisors to please them. There was a postdoctor Dr. Kim
: going back to Korea. She volunteered to help him edit paper and then put
: her own name as the first author when the paper was published. So what? “ Dr.
: Kim” was just another “tool”. He was in Korea, what can he do about
: it? So she got a good publication without even knowing how to fabricate the
: device described in the paper. No worry, she can always go to Ziyi for help
: in research. Two years later, she wanted a job now. Two years were a really
: short time for Ph.D. But no worry, she had Ziyi. So Ziyi helped her to do
: job search and helped her to write those application packages with research
: plans and teaching plans. Ziyi was good and interviews were coming. But her
: research work was a failure, the supposed to be “micro”-pump was “big”
: and did not work at all. Then she had Ziyi to help. Ziyi was an expert in
: microfabrication. So she used Ziyi’s presentation template and asked Ziyi
: to help her draw microfabrication graphs. Ziyi is also a good physicist. So
: he could also help to do physics calculations. Now a presentation for a
: seminar is finished. Li Cao rehearsed before Ziyi again and again and now
: she was ready. Of course, need Ziyi to buy her a brand new attractive suite
: again.
: So Li Cao went to Iowa State University for the interview. There are lots
: of way more qualified candidates with lots of publications. She had only
: two papers, one was stolen from Dr. Kim, the other is an extremely small
: local conference paper in Minneapolis. But she had her own way. She had
: this nice presentation mostly prepared by Ziyi plus most importantly, she
: was a woman, an attractive woman mostly developed in good life provided by
: Ziyi. Before the marriage, she was sick, swollen and had severe skin
: infection. Anyway, in her own words later, those old professors in her job
: interview just kept staring at her skirts, legs, chest …… secretly. Of
: course, she pretended not to know and pretended that she admired their
: knowledge. Of course, those things could not be told to Ziyi yet.
: So a student from Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology, after two years
: of study in Ph.D. program, with forged academic transcripts and diplomas
: she made became a professor in a major University --- Iowa State
: University. Her thesis was a failure, the micro-pump is neither “micro”
: nor “functioning”. But she got the job, in her own way again.
: Now she wanted a nice house. Of course Ziyi had the money. But first Li Cao
: needed to persuade Ziyi to leave a promising career in computer industry.
: Her so called “love” could do it. Then now she got the new house,
: expensive car, new furniture, appliances, everything. In work, she felt
: pressure. She never did serious research before. How could she get research
: money? Maybe it is time to let Ziyi go and find another “tool” again.
: This was only three months since she got the job. Of course she needed to
: use Ziyi’s money first. So she asked Ziyi to spend $9,000 for her green
: card lawyer. Iowa State University did not permit hiring private lawyer. So
: she cheated Department head to sign the paper. Iowa State University did
: not even know the school was represented by this lawyer.
: Of course, she can use forged documents and obtain supporting letters from
: those guy professors using her woman charm. At this time, it had only been
: three years since she had admission in the Ph.D. program in University of
: Minnesota. But she was applying green card as “an outstanding professor”
: and “a person with extraordinary ability”. Of course those supporting
: letters made her sound like world-class scientist. She knew those older
: established professors were powerful and can help her get research money,
: key for her own fame.
: Who is Ziyi now? Yes, he loves her. Yes, without him, she would have had
: nothing. But she is Li Cao, nobody is important for her unless he is good
: “ tool” for her to get what she wants.
: Then there was a well-established Professor. He had a big Lab and lots of
: money and students. So she approached him and he was helpful. She told Ziyi
: in a cold winter day afternoon that she fell in love with this guy. Ziyi
: was shocked and unprepared. They started to argue, but nothing really
: violent. But it was great opportunity for Li Cao to create stories and lies
: about some made up alleged abuse. Eventually, Ziyi proved to be smart, got
: GMAT score of 710, the highest in Iowa State University MBA program
: history. That Professor was not responsive. It looks like Ziyi would be a
: good “tool” in the long run.
: So 180 degrees turn, Li Cao decided to reconcile with Ziyi. In April 2001
: started with apology and love words, then 3 weeks of vacations in San
: Diego, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Los Angeles. Then fall semester of 2001 came,
: dinners together, party together, running and biking together, just like
: old Minnesota time.
: Now Ziyi wanted to have kids. No,Li Cao didn’t want to be attached. Ziyi
: overall is still a “tool”, but maybe a tool longer than the other tools
: in her life. So she made excuse to postpone. But she found that Ziyi did
: know her forgery of academic documents some time ago and started to
: question her honesty.
: It was November, 2001, Li Cao was alarmed. If her forgery of academic
: transcripts and diplomas came out, she will lose her degrees from
: University of Cincinnati, University of Minnesota, her job, and immigration
: status. She will be deported or convicted “forgery”. “Forgery” to the
: US government is a “felony”. Li Cao could not let this happen. So she
: used sex to calm Ziyi down. She even agreed to have kids by having sex
: without condoms. But on Ziyi’s back, she was taking the “plan B” pill.
: On the surface, Li Cao still hosted thanksgiving party for Ziyi’s friends,
: went to Neighbor’s parties with Ziyi, went to MBA bond fire with Ziyi. But
: in Li Cao’s mind, she is thinking about creating lies and stories to
: destroy Ziyi every day.
: Li Cao admitted committing forgery of academic documents and using them to
: deceive Universities and US Government in her sworn statements during
: deposition. She said, “I did it to look better”. Now in order to keep
: looking better, Li Cao decided to get rid of her husband, who gave her good
: life, loved her and saved her from desperation. Li Cao did it by creating
: lies and distorting facts and manipulating Ziyi’s love and sadness.
: Thinking about this: “If Li Cao can forge academic transcripts and
: diplomas to deceive University of Cincinnati, University of Minnesota, Iowa
: State University, INS, US Department of Labor to get into US, to gain
: admission to graduate program, to gain job, to gain immigration status and
: working permit, can’t she lie to destroy her husband who is the only
: person knows about her forgery to cover her crime of “forgery”. She
: committed forgery not just once, twice, but 6 times. From 1995 to 2001.
: This is a PATTERN of lying.
: ______________________________________________________________
: Regarding: Li Cao Social Security Number: 278-98-5846
: Subject: Repeated Forging Education Transcripts and Diplomas and using them
: to Deceive US Government Agencies and Universities from 1995 to 2001
: She forged different versions for different purposes:
: Version 1: (Forged in 1995) She used forged undergraduate and graduate
: transcripts and diplomas to gain admission to Univ. of Cincinnati Graduate
: School, thus gaining entry to United States. This is in fact lying to
: United States Government to gain Student Visa to enter US. All the forged
: documents were made by Li Cao herself instead of the college. Beijing
: Institute of Clothing Technology is a very lowly-rated college ( not even
: accredited ), having almost no students coming to United States to pursue
: graduate studies. So she thought she could get away with forgery..
: * Both Credit hours and grades were changed on graduate transcripts (more
: than 5 grades were changed)
: * Diploma showed Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Design.
: Version 2: (Forged in 1998) She used the same forged transcripts that she
: used in Univ. of Cincinnati in her application to Univ. of Minnesota
: Graduate School. But she used a diploma showing Bachelor of Engineering in
: Textile Engineering, which is what she really studied.
: Version 3: (Forged in 1999) She created in 1999 in order to fit the
: requirement of Bachelor of Science. Master of Science in Mechanical
: Engineering for a professor position in Mechanical Engineering. This
: version 3 forged transcripts and diplomas were made by Li Cao at home
: computer. She then sent the forged document back to her parents and asked
: them to make copies and put on red seal with a forged school stamp.
: This time graduate transcript still has altered grades and credits.
: Undergraduate transcript is even different from her version 1 forged
: undergraduate transcript she used in Univ. of Cincinnati and Univ. of
: Minnesota.
: Compared to version 1 forged undergraduate transcript:
: (a) Some courses changed from one academic year to another academic year
: (b) Degree name changed to Bachelor of Science to fit her need
: (c) Total credit hours changed
: (d) Lots of course names changed
: * In 2000, Li Cao used this version 3 forged academic diplomas in
: application to Iowa State Univ. for a professor position in Mechanical
: Engineering Department.
: Iowa State Univ. International Education Service has this version 3
: forged academic diploma. (Li Cao submitted version 3 forged diploma to Deb
: Vance in ISU IES office for H-1 working Visa application to INS)
: Comparing Chinese on the top of this forged diploma with the bottom
: English translation will tell you it is a fake one.
: “纺织”which means “Textile” disappeared in English
: “工” which means “Engineering” becomes “Science” in English
: These two are the most obvious signs of forgery.
: In China, Bachelor of Science (理学士) and Bachelor of Engineering（工学
: 士）are two types of totally different degrees. Beijing Institute of
: Clothing Technology does not produce Bachelor of Science Degree.
: * In August 2000, Li Cao used this version 3 forged diplomas in her
: application to INS for H-1 visa.
: * In middle of 2001, Li Cao used this version 3 forged diplomas in her
: application to State of Iowa Alien Employment Certification Office in Des
: Moines and US Department of Labor Regional Office in Kansas City for labor
: certification.
: * In September 2001, Li Cao used this version 3 forged transcripts and
: diplomas in her application to INS Nebraska Service Center in Lincoln,
: Nebraska for an immigration visa. (I-140 application)
:
: Summary of Li Cao’s Forgery Crime:
: * Li Cao repeatedly forged academic transcripts and diplomas in any way
: she wants to gain her personal needs. She repeatedly used forged academic
: documents to lie to United States Government including INS, Department of
: Labor and multiple Universities including University of Cincinnati,
: University of Minnesota and Iowa State University.
: * Because she lied to US Government to enter US, according to INS law,
: she should be deported.
: * She should also be deported because she used forged academic documents
: for her H-1 Visa and I-140 Immigration Visa application to INS.
: * Because she used forged academic documents to obtain admission to get
: into University of Cincinnati and University of Minnesota graduate school,
: her degrees from both of these schools should be revoked.
: * Because she lied in her job application by saying she has BS in
: Mechanical Engineering and also used forged academic diplomas, her
: professor position should be terminated.
: * Forgery of academic transcripts and diplomas and using them to lie to
: the United States Government is a “felony” according to Law. Li Cao
: committed not just one but multiple counts of forgery.
: Evidence:
: * Copies of her three different versions of forged academic transcripts
: and diplomas.
: * Her real graduate transcript sealed in an envelope from Beijing
: Institute of Clothing Technology.
: A copy of her real graduate transcript is also provided.
: * Computer files of forged academic transcripts and diplomas she created
: in 1999 at home computer.( Version 3)
: * All her different versions of forged academic transcripts and diplomas
: are also in following places:
: 1. University of Cincinnati Graduate School
: 2. University of Minnesota Graduate School
: 3. Iowa State University International Education Service (IES) (Ask Deb
: Vance in IES for a copy of Li Cao’s Diplomas from Beijing Institute of
: Clothing Technology that she used for H-1 Visa application to INS and labor
: certification application for her greed card)
: 4. State of Iowa Alien Employment Certification Office
: 5. US Dept. of Labor Regional Office in Kansas City
: 6. INS Nebraska Service Center in Lincoln, Nebraska
: (ask for Li Cao’s H-1 Visa application in 2000 and I-140 immigration visa
: application in September 2001 using her SSN: 278-98-5846)
: Some Notes:
: * It is common knowledge that transcripts should be provided to graduate
: school or employer in sealed envelopes directly from the college that
: produces them. When transcripts and diplomas are translated, they should be
: notarized.
: * When being contacted, Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology will be
: willing to testify that Li Cao’s academic transcripts and diplomas used in
: University of Cincinnati, University of Minnesota, ISU job application, INS
: H-1 Visa and I-140 immigration visa application were forged and made by Li
: Cao instead of by the school.
: * What Li Cao actually studied in Beijing Institute of Clothing
: Technology is textile. That means that she did not have the undergraduate
: education in different areas of Mechanical Engineering that is required to
: teach undergraduate course in ISU Mechanical Engineering Department.
: * It is unfair and irresponsible for the ISU students to have Li Cao who
: does not have the qualification and committed forgery to Universities and
: US Government at least 6 times from 1995 to 2001 to teach on campus.
: * She changed grades and credits on forged graduate transcripts for much
: better grades and more credit hours. There are so many differences even
: between the two different versions of forged undergraduate transcripts she
: forged during different times. She made all these supposed to be sacred
: academic documents herself. She changed grades, credits, course name,
: majors, degree names, anything you can think of to fit her own need.
: * Li Cao admitted that she changed many grades, credit hours and used the
: forged transcripts to gain admission to University Of Cincinnati, thus
: entry into US during deposition in her sworn statement.
: In deposition, she also admitted that she used forged transcripts to gain
: admission into University Of Minnesota Graduate School in 1998.
: When being asked “Why did you make so many grade changes?” in
: deposition, She answered “To make me look better”.
