To clarify: The actual Dead Sea Scrolls aren't fake (as far as anyone knows). The items Hobby Lobby bought just aren't the Dead Sea Scrolls (as advertised). They don't have a lot of professional scholars on staff, so it took a while for them to figure out they got swindled.
Serves them right, IMO. Buying grandfathered-in-legal-status antiquities is a smarmy business for a museum to be engaging in to begin with.
Yeah, the actual Dead Sea Scrolls are a hilarious refutation of the Bible.
