It's been mentioned on this channel that there's a bit of an institutional incentive against uncovering fraud in science, but I think a common pattern for the really high profile fraudsters like Hendrik Schon and Hwang is a specific political/financial environment. For Schon, it was Bell Lab's kind of desperate financial straits and in this case, it's Korea staking its national identity on Hwang. If your house is on fire and someone hands you a fire hose, you're probably not going to ask them where they're getting the water from.

That's was Epstein's trick too - he got as many high society/important figures implicated with him as he could so it was in all their interests to keep him a free man.
