Begrudged ex-employee exposes boss' fraudulent Masters and PhD, gets them revoked: 'The university just thanked me'

Higher degrees hold a lot of weight in our world, for better or for worse. The thinking behind this usually is: this person worked so hard for years, they must be intelligent, be knowledgable in their field, or at the very least, mean business. So jobs are more likely to hire you, and people are more likely to give you respect. Lying about one's education is understandable to an extent if it's a little fudge here and there. Prestigious degrees have a lot of cache in our world, whether or not the system is just and honest. But in this situation, the treachery went beyond a simple white lie. 

What follows is a delicious story of revenge, befitting of a particularly good episode of crime TV. There's a bad guy, a determined hero, and hours spent in a library trying to crack the case. Read on for the details, and fantasize about doing this to the toxic overlord in your life.
