In the article "Rupiah Rasputin" written in 1998 for "Fortune", Paul Krugman presented Hanke as ""a self-promoter whose image as a successful country doctor has been pumped up by resume inflation."" and accused him of fraudulently claiming that he is an adviser to former Argentine Finance Minister Domingo Cavallo: ""Cavallo himself tells a different story, though. He claims Hanke first became involved three years after the board was established, when he volunteered his services as a publicist."". Krugman additionally claimed that creating a currency board in Indonesia ""was probably a bad idea right now"", because it would interfere with payments for imports or debt service.
