"Will the real specification please stand up?" discredits accounting paper

On the positive side, the AB/SK scandal, along with the Hunton case, could generate something positive for the profession in the long run. It has sent a clear signal to all that the current system has serious problems and needs structural changes. If left unchanged (likely), more AB/SKs will emerge in the near future.

The AAA changed its policies in response to the Hunton case. Coauthors must indicate who is responsible for data questions, and data must be kept for N years after publication. The AB/SK scandal was the first real test of the policy change, and the AAA passed. This doesn't mean accounting is perfect, but the AAA showed the policies have teeth.
On the other hand, the SFS has shown that it doesn't take academic misconduct seriously. You can definitely expect more AB/SKs in finance in the near future.

Why minor? If they continue at CMU or land on their feet at some other HRM, does not that not have important signal value? And will it not inform the profession on how to handle such issues?
What will happen to AB/SK is actually a minor issue. Most likely they will do fine at some places that the family or network has power over. The biggest issue is how the journals and the profession will respond.

Schools that cater to his daddy.
Who would hire SK? He is a fraud.
Info also is that the school from which this info emanates will not touch him with a barge pole.
Specific news that SK is on the market. This could be normal pre-tenure shopping around. Or it could mean something more.

I have not received any calls so far.
Indeed, it would be rather disconcerting if I had received a call, since I have not applied for any jobs.Productive professors with interesting research often receive unsolicited offers from schools even if they haven’t applied. What you are revealing is that either (a) you are a PhD student, or (b) nobody wants you as a colleague.

The family still has power...
Is his daddy still running RFS
