Don't forget, somebody was possibly denied the job and his or her trajectory possibly changed because of this lying SOB.

I think everyone more or less agrees that Anil Potti is a disgrace to science, and he has been practically blacklisted from mainstream science.

What this article shows though, is that his bosses were directly involved in the cover up - and lied through their teeth about the lack of a whistleblower to the people who went through clinical trials based on made up data.

Now, Potti took the fall - what will happen to those people who tried to silence the whistle blower? I'm not suggesting they are as guilty as Potti, but if you are willing to share in the credit, you must be willing to take a portion of the blame when things turn sour.

Ah...reminds me of a good Wire quote from Lieutenant Daniels: "You should never take credit when the crime rate drops, unless you want to take the blame when its rises."

If they are as guilty as the article suggests, they should go to jail too. Just losing your career isn't enough.

Don't get caught.

And make sure there's no one above you when you do.

You mean "jails should be filled" :) Hey two can play this game.
