Amusing reasoning.
I hope you never help someone to commit a fraud/crime.

No, I did not kill him! I only drove the killer to the spot of the crime!
No, I did not kill him! I only buried the corpse! He was dead already! I swear!

Note, idiot: if you had some morals you would know what is right and what is wrong. For idiots like you the rest of mankind made laws. If you fail to read them when in doubt about what is right and what is wrong: your problem.

I guess it was even more simple and primitive: the same drive was used by several cheaters, handed to them by the guy providing the data. And the professor simply realized: he had seen this and that before or the files were even named Student_surname_student_given_name.pdf or student_id.pdf, and there were several of them.

There are obviously tons of people offering services like that, because there are tons of "students" that do not actually want to learn anything. Most just never get caught. Also, obviously, the students graduating this way will find their "expertise" to be worthless.

Fortunately, there are still (and probably always will be) enough students that actually want to learn and evolve their skills. We educators owe it to them to separate them from the dross though.

It gets a bit better when you systematically do "do not recommend channel" on all the YouTube slop, but it is still bad. In particular, channels pushing complete fabrications vor views are apparently totally fine for YT these days. Personally, I just have a small number of people for whom I look at content, and apart from the (rare) doom-scrolling, I ignore the rest.

Indeed. I think one reason is because the US is missing a really big domestic catastrophe where they cannot conveniently blame "somebody else" for it. Or at least where that blame-shifting is obvious enough that most people see it for what it is. Hence there is this completely irrational and disconnected feeling of superiority and being invulnerable. For most people, humility only comes from an experience of abject failure. For some, it never comes. But humility is critical for seeing reality, so if you do not have it, eventually you will get it the hard way. Well, most people will.

To be fair, I think chances are really good the current US administration has made sure this catastrophe will happen quite soon. If so, at least one good thing would have come out of the current mess.
