Genentech says they don't think anything fishy happened with the 2009 Nature paper, though they acknowledge not having access to all relevant data. They said as much before but apparently did some interviews and investigation that is the basis of this article.

However a different postdoc under MTL was let go in 2010 for scientific misconduct, regarding a paper that was submitted with MTL as coauthor, but then withdrawn. This is new, presumably more details will come with further reporting.

Most likely this is a series of unfortunate events. MTL made perfectly reasonable hiring decisions, but it turned out that a number of his post docs committed fraud unbeknownst to him. (Eye roll)
