So we don't retract, and life moves forward. And in June of 2021, I believe, I get an email from one of the members of the Data Collada team saying, Max, can the three of us meet with you on Zoom to talk about something important?

So there's a Zoom. And the first part of the Zoom is the Data Colada team showing me the evidence for fraud in the insurance paper. And it's kind of overwhelming. These guys are careful and they're thorough. And like, they convinced me that there was fraud in the study.

So after they presented the insurance evidence to me, they said, and now for worse news. That's when they introduced the allegation of data fabrication in one of the lab studies.

And to make matters worse, there was evidence of data fabrication in three other projects that Gina was a co-author of.

Yeah, and I was clearly more closely connected to those lab studies. And you're a co-author on more than one of the papers. I was only a co-author of one of the four papers that they were showing me. But I, by then, had been a co-author of eight different empirical papers that have Francesca Gino as a co-author. So what happened next on the Zoom call? So they provide the evidence.

And so I'm now aware that there's what Data Quad later called cluster fake, that there's at least two frauds in the same paper or that that was likely to be the case. And then Data Colada basically said, so Max, you're the Harvard professor. We think that Harvard should have access to this information. Are you the person who will take it to them? And I said, no, thank you. Because why?

Because I certainly thought that Harvard should be aware of what I was looking at, but I didn't want to play a central role in making that happen.
