I could understand if it was some clever hidden cartel where people sneak in extra references that seem plausible, spread out over many people and articles. But to juts have cite only this guys garbage papers?
Also the citation / H-index metric clearly need improvements. It should be trivial to do clique detection and downrank such citations.
