Hm, the experiment took place before 1973 and involved 8 pseudo-patients, all anonymous. This person was able to deanonymize and locate 3 of the pseudo-patients. Because they didn't find all 8 they then claim the study was fraudulent and never involved 8 people. That seems an absurd conclusion. It's not reasonable to think one could find all the anonymous/identity cloaked participants in a nearly 50 year old study.

Given that the researcher was a participant directly, and that he lied about his actions (he in fact presented suicidal thoughts, etc), I believe the balance of evidence says we should reject the study.
