The basics, from personal observation of Moody in action (prior to Crouch
Jr.'s capture and sentencing as a DE).  The details, from interrogating
Moody on a regular basis -- remember, Crouch had Moody at hand, locked up in
his own trunk, the whole time he was impersonating Moody at Hogwarts.

And how much actual day-to-day contact did Dumbledore and not-Moody have?
They were both busy men, and on those rare occasions where D. might have
sought a private interview, Crouch could just have begged off, or kept it
short.

I had no problem with this plot development, myself.
