And who was it who caught these frauds? Other scientists, that's who. The wailing in this article about scientific fraud is documenting the successful efforts of science to police itself. There might be a rationalization to build a "double blind" process of funding where scientists don't know where their money is coming from, and donors don't know where it's going to eliminate the incentive for shading data. But this article doesn't make it's point well by painting science as an association of frauds.
