There were recent headlines -in a post here lost in the crash - about an accredited university being investigated for basically "printing" degrees. Involved were several bureaucrats and IT service people who would fake entries in the student databases.
The difference between that and a blatant mill is that a blatant mill offers its "services" to anyone, while other arrangements require much red carpet and insider's knowledge of people who are willing to "help"...for a substantial fee, of course.
Years ago in Italy something similar happened.
To give another example, fast-passports from some poor African countries are publicly advertised; fast-passports from first world countries exist as well, but are very expensive and known to few.
