It is intentional fraud, no doubt about it; they restarted halted clinical trials. I was just pointing out they did sloppy work too.
- michaelhoffman 14y agoThey were caught due to their bad behavior in the case you listed earlier. But Duke refused to do anything about it until Anil Potti's false claim of a Rhodes Scholarship came to light.
