Rufo will now expose a whole international network of grifters

Rufo hardly needs to "expose" any of these people. James Lindsay and his cohorts have been doing it for years. The problem is not so much plagiarism as shoddy scholarship and a system of hiring professors whereby existing faculty will ONLY hire people who check the right boxes and who already agree with them. The takeover of academia by the woke was not so much planned as a conspiracy as it was a natural consequence of the way the tenure-track professor hiring process works. At this point, at most universities, if you don't explicitly endorse woke principles, you'd have to be very good at hiding it until you get tenure, or you might as well burn your CV.
