Yes, normally when people come up with some BS about room temperature superconducting, they really just mean they've observed one of the indirect effects of superconductivity. "If you put an ohmmeter in my funky circuit, it displays zero!" Which usually just means you've come up with a clever way to break an ohmmeter.

Ejecting the magnetic field (the Meissner effect) is a way better sign.

I find it very hard to believe that this could be true, but at least they're measuring the right things.

How long do you think it'll take for the scientific community to determine whether this is fraud, error or the real deal?

Less than a week. It's a simple material to synthesize, and the tests conducted on it are pretty typical with effect sizes that don't require any sophisticated statistics to observe.
