Definitely will do.
Thanks for sharing your experience Mario!
tldr;
They were selling fakes.
But they took down the fakes.
And seems they were a victim of their supplier selling them fakes.
I think this is a pretty fair summary, thank you!
One thing I would add is that part of being a re-seller of any kind is verifying the quality of your products. It seems like they were not doing this, or at least not doing it adequately. I hope they have learned a valuable lesson, and will improve their practices.

…and in the lithium cells market, this is a hundred times more important.
Their sole job is to resell and to prevent their supply line from being contaminated by fakes. This is like a condom that only leaks a little bit.
@Battery_Mooch i remember you posted that batteryjunction had sold some bad 18650s, any idea if the 40t cells were fake as well?
Sorry, no idea. I only know about the cells I tested being fakes or low grade/damaged; 30Q, HG2, and 25R.
