Fake architect convicted after false claims on LinkedIn - Archinect

According to Architect's Journal (AJ), a Watford man has received seven convictions after falsely describing himself as an architect on LinkedIn and with Companies House, the Uk's registrar of companies. Sohail Chohan, the convicted man, who pleaded guilty, told AJ that his son set up his LinkedIn profile and website and that he had never seen them before.

Ultimately, Chohan was given leeway by the judge due to his early guilty and financial situation, reports AJ. "They understood I was an idiot and were as lenient as they could be," Chohan said to AJ.
