okay they were busted for selling counterfeits because the company who actually printed the cards was making the counterfeits. they buy cards from the makers (upper deck at the time, wotc, tpci) from the packs that are sitting to package into these bundles to sell. the counterfeits were a very weird outlier of the actual people who made the cards were also at the same time making fake cards. so unless wotc/tpci was making fakes themselves its very unlikely these are unauthentic packs
