Well, the money he stole (or was given in a roundabout way) was in the name of his research regarding the vaccines/autism link...the overarching theme is that his credibility is being called into question, which then calls his "research" into question. I don't necessarily agree, but it seems this author thinks the man was part of a conspiracy to conduct "research" to get results that were favorable to the CDC...ie no link between vaccines and autism. I don't know what to think about the issue, just thought it was interesting.
I really don't trust this site. It's a wall of ads, it's very lightweight as far as true science goes, and he even links heavily to a website that promotes Holocaust denial and says that shapeshifting lizard people run the world (seriously! It's whale.to and it's FOUL and Mike Adams of Natural News links to it regularly.) I don't deny fraud occurs in science, but it sounds like this guy was more of an embezzler than a *scientific* fraud. Now, if it's true, it could cast doubt on his honesty as a researcher, but he just might be a greedy putz.
If you want to talk fraud, Andrew Wakefield (the former doc who asserted that the MMR vax causes autism) is a major fraud and lost his medical license and all credibility due to his lies.
