I read more about F&P and wow, there are striking similarities. The duo probably weren't fraudsters. No intentional deception in their work was ever found, so not like Hendrik Schon. They were basically forced to make their results public by their university, but it was very premature and they should have waited ten years. They were 100% legit, top researchers in the field before all this, and well after the scandal many scientists continued research in avenues initiated by F&P's original experiments (with little success). I can totally see LK-99, once it fails replication in a month, leading to more research but probably not yielding the holy grail.
