There might be nothing to this theory but there seems to be a potential discontinuity in the timeline of “Jughead”. Desmond goes to Oxford in 2007 and we assume that from the perspective of Widmore and the rest of the “real world” that Faraday went to the Island in 2004 and then vanished into time. But his lab is still somewhat intact, his equipment is still there and the janitor indicates he has been working on the “fumigation” until recently. He also hints ‘Others’ have been to the lab in the intervening years. Why would Oxford wait 3 years to proceed with cleaning out his lab and getting rid of the equipment... especially if Faraday was involved in a scandal? One would think the University would work quickly to eradicate any trace of him. Perhaps Faraday is destined to escape the Island
