Jacobian conjecture is one. Supposed proved in 1939 by Keller and bestowed theorem status, it was assumed to be a proper theorem for years until the 1960's when Vitushkin took a giant shit on it and showed that over 90% of Mathematicians were fucking hacks because they couldn't be arsed to properly READ Keller's incorrect proof. But hey that's fine, just let them keep their PHDs while they sit in ivory towers casting judgment on Undergraduates for making the very same mistakes they did.
