Vincent Berg, 67, was found guilty in the Southport District Court in Australia of faking a medical diploma, before maintaining the lie that he was a fully trained psychiatrist for almost two decades. 

The fraudster, who claimed he was a doctor trained in secret by the KGB, faces 14 years behind bars after he was ousted following a more than decade-long investigation into his crimes.
