#2Well, that's about time. Although, I'm pessimistic that the law can stem the current tide of research fraud, at least it's something.

#3Would be ironic if the trial shows that the drug works after all this. But that seems incredibly doubtful. This guy should go to prison for a long time. That’s 1,800 people in a trial who could have been taking a non fraudulent drug that has a better chance of working.

Is there a better and non-fraudulent drug out there? I’m not asking to further an argument, I’m asking because I have a family member with this disease.

Not a drug but intermittent fasting could help, here are some articles on it https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=intermittent+fasting+Al...

Even if the science isn’t fully there yet, this seems well into the realm of “almost certainly can’t hurt”.

Relatedly, there is evidence that ketogenic (which are fasting mimicking) diets can be helpful:

#9I know in a lot of past submissions here about academic fraud, a good chunk of the comments wondered how it wasn't a punishable crime.
Well, now we know the answer! I hope we get a lot more of this. Given how much of academic funding is provided by the government, it's not unrealistic to think that the feds can break the back of academic fraud by pursuing more of these cases.
The burden these people cast on society is arguably worse than a ponzi schemer. They steal money from taxpayers, the livelihoods of researchers, and time from those who can least afford to waste it.
