In a seeming counter-point to the Sokal Affair, a pair of brothers (Igor and Grichka Bogdanov), managed to get several papers published to physics journals which, upon closer inspection, seem to be full of similar (to Sokal) pseudoscience under a layer of dense technical jargon. The brothers have since defended their theories (which claim to deal with the area of topological field theory), but the veracity of their work remains in extreme doubt and they are almost universally regarded by other scientists as frauds.
