Some other fraud in the same subfield lead to an amoral douchebag becoming President of Stanford, where he destroyed the campus culture (read https://www.palladiummag.com/2022/06/13/stanfords-war-on-soc... to verify) and then supported DEI run amok (read https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2023/01/11/amid-backlash... to see some of the fallout from that).

This is in addition to wasting a big chunk of the billions spent each year on Alzheimer's research on false leads (see https://www.alz.org/news/2024/congress-bipartisan-funding-al... for a source on the billions).

Yes, very serious consequences indeed. (Note, I did my best to back up my statements with high quality unbiased factual references. Please read them before disagreeing with my description of the result.)
