The article deals with one of the most publicised cases in France during the 2010s. It follows the journey from 2013, when he started his doctorate, to 2020, when the University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne cancelled his title. We will show how this affair, far from being a success in terms of investigation and academic reaction, is first and foremost the indicator of a profound failure and of a system incapable of reforming itself. For, if it had not been for the continuous action of whistleblowers through a precise and demanding anonymous Twitter account, and vigilant media, it is to be feared that this case would never have reached its conclusion.Date
