I notice in my community numerous conferences featuring fraudsters. Along with people who stated that it's time to move on, and the lesson has been learned etc. Of course people who called out fraud are typically excluded.
I wonder if other communities went through this and have they survived?

Denmark is a very disappointing country for research integrity. The University of Copenhagen is a cover-up facility. The national committee is meek and cannot be appealed to my whistleblowers. The journalists don't cover it. The code of conduct is good, but empty words. Shame on DK.
Astonishing to see a public broadcaster like Danmarks Radio still pumping out client journalism for Microsoft — pages of breathless repetition of corporate BS, including claims of an 8 topological qubit chip, tempered by just a few words of surface-level skepticism.

DR-korrespondent har set Microsofts mystiske chip, der potentielt kan ændre verden
Forskere i Lyngby spiller en afgørende rolle i udviklingen af Microsofts bud på fremtidens kvantecomputer. Men ikke alle jubler over den såkaldte Majorana 1-chip.

Appropriately still from the corrupt website, still afraid to use his own name, Das Sarma concedes that the MSFT 'qubit' generates 'nonsensical noise'.

Grateful to APS for accommodating the schedule change.
But since they won’t be emailing all attendees to promote my talk (as they did for Microsoft), I’d really appreciate help spreading the word.
📢 “Can we build a topological qubit in 2025?”

In a welcome move, there has been a last minute change and I will give a talk:
