They’ve just withdrawn three of the papers:
* Algebraicity of Weil classes on split abelian eightfolds
* Algebraicity of Kuga–Satake Correspondences for K3 Surfaces
* The rational Hodge conjecture for products of K3 surfaces

Gotta love this:
> In “Algebraicity of Weil classes on split abelian eightfolds” a sign error invalidates a stabilization-trace cancellation argument and the construction used by two dependent papers. As a result, we have withdrawn the following three manuscripts:
