As this guy [0] (a TV moderator who handed Relotius several of his awards) says, that journalist was under no economic pressure, at all. And the interviewed person also calls out this worldview in which everybody is a victim, nobody is an actor, and many journalists are more concerned about them being victims than being victimizers. And it really is telling that the perpetrator so easily gets styled as kind-of-also-a-victim, as if having won a few prizes created this pressure/temptation no human could possibly withstand.
