It wasn't just Wansink.

Everyone around him knew and participated to some extent.

His postdocs (except the one who said no), his PhD students, and all his other co-authors.

They all knew and never said a word.

When Cornell was told, they made some pious noises and ignored it until it became too public.

Journals ignored all criticism until it became too public.

This is a system that does not police fraud.
