That bootleg wasn't just a flashdrive. The chip you can see is a USB-HID enabled microcontroller and it simulated a working filesystem, but instead of actually saving the files it only wrote the inodes, so the operating system thought a file was written and is present. You would only get errors if you tried opening a file. As many users only use external drives as a backup memory, some of them might not yet have noticed that it's a bootleg and will be pretty pissed off when they do.
