i'm a business owner and you wouldn't believe how many of my customers who have small businesses with even less than 5 employees consider themselves CEOs. I think it's inaccurate to use that term unless you have a large corporation with a board of directors.

I disagree. The term doesn't have to be based on the size of the business. Hell look at Berkshire Hathaway. The businesses they own employs lots of people but they only have a small number in their head office. Imo you can call yourself whatever you want. Look at a car dealership and see how many managers are their.

I remember hearing on the radio that teachers salaries are based on educational "accomplishments".
So anyone can just go and get a University of Phoenix (or similar online school) MBA and get an auto-raise
I think that's a harsh scam, as there should be some sort of standard but there isn't

it just sounds silly though. you start a small business with a few employees and suddenly you're calling yourself a CEO... it's very common, mostly among business owners that want to pad their self importance.

Don't see any issues with this - it's like someone some being called a boss or owner of a company - it doesn't matter the size of the company, they are the owners.

It's ridiculous because the term CEO - Chief Executive Officer - implies there are several layers of management beneath them. If not, there would be no need for "Chief" or "Executive".
Most not-ridiculous companies I work with that do not have boards of directors typically use "President" for the owner or senior decision maker. Some family owned business also use "Founder".

I don't know why people think this guy is successful, just cause he claims to be a ceo/professor and other bullshit. Sounds like an amateur scammer got scammed by some pros

so a 50/60 year-old local man (who even tried running for mayor of a major metropolitan area for crying out loud) and not some naive 20 year-old new immigrant , actually believes there are short-cuts in life?

there are tons of shortcuts in life.. it usually involves coming out of the "right" vagina.

I googled "Kings Lake University"
Kings Lake University (http://www.kingslakeuniversity.org/about/accreditation/)
That website is ESL as fuck - it seems immediately obvious that has been translated from another language.

College Professor with a fake degree
For more than a decade, Dubravko Zgrablic has pursued his "calling" by teaching thousands of students at several post-secondary institutions in Toronto.
He says those schools include Centennial College, the University of Toronto, Ryerson University and Seneca College, where, according to his LinkedIn profile, he currently teaches computer applications and project management courses.
Ask him where he earned his master's degree in computer science, however, and he has trouble remembering the school's name.
"Forgetting those … things, I'm always messing up," he said. "Down in the states."
There was a long silence before two undercover Marketplace journalists posing as potential Seneca students reminded him: "Almeda."
"Almeda," he said, referring to Almeda University, which a Marketplace investigation has exposed as a fake online school, that sold fake degrees before recently going offline.

Kings Lake University even has a facebook page. lol
There's a few people calling them out as a scam and giving it 1 star rating. But there are also a few fake accounts with fake testimonies and giving them a 5 star rating. If you go to any of those fake accounts, they all have like only 2-3 fb friends.
