The indictment charges defendants Stanton Witherspoon of Burlington County, N.J.; Alfred Sellu of Burlington County, N.J.; and Rene Bernadel of Westchester County, N.Y. with conspiring to commit and committing wire fraud," the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida said in a press release issued late Wednesday. According to the indictment, Witherspoon, Sellu, and Bernadel solicited and recruited individuals seeking nursing credentials in order to work as an RN or LPN/VN. It is alleged that these defendants conspired with Sanon, who operated Siena College and is charged with wire fraud conspiracy, to make and distribute counterfeit and fraudulent diplomas and transcripts.

In fact, the aspiring nurses never finished the required courses and clinicals. Witherspoon is a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who works in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and is affiliated with the Lee Training Institute in the state of Delaware as a Nursing Director. He formerly worked as an LPN at Bayada, a prominent nursing contractual agency.
