The whole point is that they were supposed to be genuine prototypes from the 90s.
Real-deal forgeries of old prototypes sounds even more exclusive than just old prototypes. They'll be worth a lot in the future.
An old employee using his home printer in 2024 to print up old mockups sounds more exclusive than actual prototypes from the 90s? What is your reasoning there?

Well, depends on how many there are, who made them, if there's anything unique about them, and if the process is repeatable. If it's repeatable then that exclusivity goes out the window.
If he said he painted them in the 70's, yes.
You can tell they're fakes because they're the Facebook logo in different colours.
Well, it works for Damien Hirst (allegedly).
