I think it is unlikely that someone with his professional resume would stay there if he thought there was fraud or funny business. I do no think he would do that for an "OK" level of money. Because if there is fraud, his reputation will be ruined and he will never again be allowed to work in his chosen field. He has a PdD in physics. He was a Fellow at the university. He worked with Preparata. And if they find out there is fraud, he will spend the rest of his working life driving a taxi. People do not throw away 20 years of career building for "OK" money. He could not get away with saying "I did not realize there is fraud." A person with PhD in physics and experience in experimental science enough to invent something and get a patent would see that it is a fraud. He would see that after five minutes. Or if he fails to see it, he is grossly incompetent. No one would hire him after a scandal like that. - Jed
