You guys are delusional if you think this weenie hut jr. is gonna accomplish anything, or is really intending to do anything but take some people's money. You think $10k is gonna do anything to a college? What's that afford you, a few hours with a legal team that tells you you're fucked?

He’s not getting lawyers, he’s encouraging people to read and fact check academic works of university leaders looking specifically for fraud and plagiarism. It’s obvious that it is more rampant than thought judging by the reaction and reporting of the Gay/Havard scandal and how defensive about it a lot of people have become.

Again, getting hold of journal articles and dissertations is not expensive but it is time consuming, so utilising the techniques that the tech companies use to find bugs, bounties, makes a lot of sense.
