Weber, an Austrian communications professor, has ended the careers of several people and made life difficult for many others. Weber’s public complaint ultimately triggered a university investigation revealing that 86 percent of the first 100 pages of Fels’ dissertation was plagiarised from Weber’s work. As a student at the University of Salzburg, Weber realised that the triumph his teacher had foreseen long ago was not going to be found in math. He also ran afoul of his students, who pushed back indignantly when he accused them of plagiarism in their essays. While helping to care for their two children, Maximilian and Anna, he taught at universities and worked as a communications consultant.
