Another Day, another fake writer

I mean scientist who fakes his research.

This is front page material as reported on the New York Times today. Chinese scientist Chen Jin was accused of faking his research and stealing chip design and passed it as his own.

According to some reports, his Hanxin chip was simply manufactured, if you can call it manfactured, by hiring migrants workers to scratch off the name Motorloa and replaced it with the name Hanxin.

Of the two students interviewed at his university, Jiatong, where he worked and subsequently fired amidst this scandal, both expressed sympathy to Professor Chen as he was simply unlucky to be get caught.

I guess if you are smart, you are almost expected to plagiarize or cook up your own findings to turn some quick bucks in China, or anywhere.
