Gee, it's not as if he plagiarized anything.

Quote:
Despite that — and despite the fake degree and the complete lack of evidence that he was a coordinator from the UN or a professor anywhere — he was quoted extensively in Expresso, a major Portuguese newspaper, and spoke on a panel at the main Portuguese news channel. No one seems to have done any due diligence until the UN put an end to his lie.

When the news came out, the editor from Expresso said he made a "terrible mistake" by "not confirming if this gentlemen was the person he said he was".

The editor said he had lunch with Baptista da Silva, and thought he had "a very consistent and credible discourse from the economic point of view." He was given a card which" didn't seem to be forged." And, the editor said, a reporter from the paper saw Baptista da Silva give a talk at a high-profile cultural organization.
