I just want to clarify — are you saying that (a) these people lied and created a fake work history, or (b) are you saying it’s lying/disingenuous to report the outcomes of people with 10 years tech experience alongside people new to the industry?

Not OP, can't speak for them, but I think both are a problem haha,
a) is a problem with Codesmith - even though I've seen materials that clearly say not to do it, I've seen other materials that clearly guide people to do it without telling them to do it... It's like DO NOT LIE!!!!! Use this example though of how we recommend doing it: <link to example that exaggerates 6 months of experience>
So many people message me about this, I get the vibe that all of the staff at Codesmith GENUINELY feels the OSPs are a magical project that is GENUINELY worth month and months of senior engineer experience that they do this on purpose, but this is just proposed to me in theories. One person said a staff member went on a rant and had to pause the session to cool down after someone asked if OSPs we're being exaggerated and you'll see in the tone of many Codesmith employees in public talks an arrogance about how good the OSPs are.
b) is a CIRR standard problem
