I wonder how the "co-authors" feel about getting smeared with the plagiarism brush by the guy who did it? Did they have any foreknowledge of their names being attached to the stolen article?

Publishing something in someones name would probably be possible, but another similarly bad offense. If they knew their name was on that paper, they either knew or had no business having their name on it.

It would be just as wrong to attach your name to papers you did not participate in writing.
