Faking IT: 5 Executives Who Lied in Their Resumes

Poor Scott Thompson. Just when his plan of revamping Yahoo was gaining steam, the falsified resume (or "Resume-Gate" as it shall forever be known) cut short his stint as CEO. In spite of the "lie" being of an inconsequential nature -- Thompson's resume claimed he had a degree in Computer Science when he didn't - Thompson will now have to add "ex-CEO, Yahoo" on his resume.

Thanks to Callahan's case, the US Government's Accountability department did an investigation and found out that 500 other government employees had done the same thing as Callahan.

500 gov't employees exposed for having fake degrees... Just scary.
