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.
