It's already been pushed into the official faculty investigations. I have a number of peers who remain in academia. So, today I ruined someone's academic career - potentially. (Damned near certainly - if you look at the two bodies of work.)

We have a citation process, plagiarism has no excuses. To outright take work and claim it as your own? That has no place in academia. So, unless there's a very, very strange misunderstanding - I ruined someone's entire academic career today. Strangely, I don't feel bad about it.

Yup. I don't even feel bad about it. Plagiarism is unacceptable, especially in my discipline. I love mathematics too much to let that go unanswered. It's actually the first plagiarism I'd personally uncovered.
