Nur paid the company approximately $5,000 to take all his Fall 2021 courses for him.  In January 2022, he paid another $6,000 to have the company take all his Spring 2022 semester courses.  He made these payments via Nur Consulting, the shell company he created to receive and launder his fraud proceeds.  Nur appears to have gotten his money’s worth.  Nur received a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management from Herzing University in August 2022.  Despite having graduated from Shakopee High School in 2019 with only a 1.75 GPA, Herzing University records show that Nur “earned” his bachelor’s degree in less than 3 years with a 3.42 GPA. 
In June 2024, at the conclusion of his 7-week trial, Nur and others attempted to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash in exchange for a not guilty verdict.  Nur and four others were indicted in a separate federal case for the juror bribery scheme.  Nur has pled guilty in the juror bribery case and is pending sentencing in that case before United States District Judge David S. Doty.  Today’s sentence does not reflect Nur’s attempt to bribe a juror; he will face an additional sentence in that case at a later date. 
In imposing the 10-year sentence, Judge Brasel told Nur, “It is so disappointing and so disheartening that where others saw a crisis and rushed to help, you saw money and rushed to steal.”  She called that choice “mindboggling.”  Judge Brasel explained that “this fraud conspiracy was both and at once elaborate and blatant,” and that Nur made the choice to steal again and again. 
The case is the result of an investigation by the FBI, IRS – Criminal Investigations, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph H. Thompson, Harry M. Jacobs, and Daniel W. Bobier prosecuted the case.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Baune is handling the seizure and forfeiture of assets.
