Looks like the total is actually 350, according to this article. (Another nice round number. You don't suppose these "journalists" make 'em up?)
BTW, according to the article Dixie gets sentenced this Wednesday (7-2). I'm not a big fan of diploma mills, but I am a big fan of justice. Let's hope she gets a judge with some common sense. Considering this was a thoroughly trumped up charge to begin with (this was, at worst, an FTC action where a cease & desist would have been appropriate, except even the FTC wasn't interested), jail time seems absurd. If Pellar got 8 months on 9 counts, logic suggests a lot less for only one count. Also add the fact that, unlike Pellar, Dixie doesn't have any previous convictions for attempted murder or fraud.
What's the over-and-under for actual jail time? If it's 30 days, I'd still take the under.
