Yes...
Look what the cat dragged in from Annalen der Physik, a crackpot journal.

Even cranks get published.

In that 1905 paper, I am discovering worng mathematics everyday. Why
is it that no one else has noticed?

Think.

For example, in section 3,
Einstein's derivation of Lorentz Transform is utterly nonsense and full
of errors.

No, you must have misunderstood something. The derivation is elementary
linear algebra and calculus. A lot of intermediate steps are omitted
because the paper was written for experts. A small translator mistake
doesn't help either.

Does anyone want to discuss this particular issue?

It depends. If we can stick to discussing FACTS - fine.

Moving
forward with his erros, he concluded with Lorentz Transform. Without
referencing to other's prior works on Lorentz Transform, that would
certainly make Einstein a plagiarist.

Unfortunately, Lorentz himself disagreed with this statement. Merely
arriving at the same equation does not make one a plagiarist.

Is Schwarzschild a plagiarist of Laplace for having arrived at the same
value for the radius beyond which light cannot escape?
