The row first erupted after another academic - self-defined “race realist” Nathan Cofnas, who was sacked from his Cambridge role in 2024 - said he found numerous instances of plagiarism in the professor’s work.
What a disgusting person! Bullying based on 100% jealousy and racism, cost a gentle person his life!
Where is the media scrutiny into this man and all his transgressions across his entire life?
Was the motive of the murder the plagarism?
Considering the timeline and that it’s a known fact that people with autism are more vulnerable, and the family and publisher mention in relation to his death that he was bullied, my guess is absolutely that the 2 are connected.
I’m confused, was there plagiarism or not?
Also, the late professor said he was analphabetic until 18, but then became one of the joungest professors ever. This seems unlikely to me, is there a mental development expert or similar specialist who could shed some light on this?
I’m genuinely curious.
My best wishes to his friends and family. I wish he hadn’t died.
The most prominent accusation, the one about his PhD thesis levelled at him by a “race realist”, has been investigated by the uni that granted his doctorate and it says he’s in the clear. There are a bunch of other things going on as well, though, like claiming to have a masters degree from a uni that says it has no record of him
