I said this on reddit so I'll just quote myself: This professor invested way too much in trying to understand why his students were cheating and giving them a second chance. While it's good to catch the cheaters and document the cheating, creating an entirely new syllabus and assignments is way beyond the call of duty. Catch the cheaters, call them on it, give them failing grades, and let that be the lesson that they learn. When they actually want to learn the material, then help them. The vast majority of the students he quotes from are trying to play the game of passing, not actually trying to learn.

Sure-but what do you do when this percentage of the class cheats - 80% or something here?

Do you fail everyone?

The percentage here is really, really disturbing. I don’t recall seeing what kind of class it was, but cheaters are usually the exception, it’s assumed.

…or maybe the whole world has been cheating a lot more than we all think.

In a wide-spread situation like this, when you have the goods on the cheaters, yes, you flunk them.
