How do graduates get away with fake experience?

During the boom times of 2021-2022 it had like a 95% graduation rate and 90% placement within 6 months. Now in 2024 they have like a 90% graduation rate and 40% placement within 6 months. HOWEVER, people list like "X to Present" for these fake listings. The bootcamp has like a 60-70% placement within 12 months now and as people hit like 1 year post bootcamp these fake listings look like 1+ years of work experience and help people start getting jobs. So the TLDR - no - Codesmith is falling apart and I would recommend running for the hills - they are down to a skeleton crew of staff, half of who are looking for work. The best bootcamps have closed down or pivoted. Rithm closed, App Academy closed SWE, General Assembly pivoted to B2B according to their annual report, Bloom Tech closed SWE, Turing shut down, Launch Academy shut down, Code Up shut down, Episcodus shut down. Tech Elevator was collapsed into Galvanize.... I can go on. The only place that hasn't had layoffs that I know of is Launch School.
