People who commit fraud at this level usually have a psychosis akin to narcissism. Their brain is dysfunctional and they are literally compelled to lie bigger and bigger -- they are addicted to lying. Do not look into your own brain and think "I'd never do that, therefore they wouldn't either"; you can't extrapolate from a healthy brain to a clinically compulsive liar / narcissist. Once these things start to unravel, you find a seemingly endless stream of lies these people have woven into their lives from their earliest years. We're already beginning to see this with the 2013 thesis being plagiarized. This person's entire life is a lie. It's a psychosis.
