Interesting. Hungary's leading business magazine did a story on the school as one of the founders is a Hungarian doctor.

OFFSHORE ORVOSI EGYETEM
Egzotikus diploma
A földi paradicsomként emlegetett Seychelle-szigeteken nemcsak a turizmus, az oktatás is jó üzlet. A világ legkisebb fővárosában, Victoriában amerikai orvosi diplomát lehet szerezni. Az egyetem egyik alapítója "természetesen" magyar.
Rough translation of the above abstract

Offshore medical school
Exotic diploma
On the paradise Seychelles, it is not only tourism that is proving as a good business, but also education. In the world's smallest capital city, Victoria, one can get American medical diplomas. One of the the founders of the university is 'naturally' Hungarian.

According to the article, the place has 170 students and only a couple dozen have gotten as far as licensure. However, as the piece is littered with other factual inaccuracies (such as mentioning that it awards an American diploma) that IMO doesn't mean much.
