Inflating some metric is one thing. Saying that a thing that's impossible by laws of physics, has been done in your product is quite another. I do admit however that it's not the first time. When I worked in a large tech company, our investment arm asked me to look at a startup that was clearly the same kind of fraud (doing things that are impossible according to Shannon), and indeed did turn out to be a fraud. But that's one example in my entire career.
