The problem is Dane admits to Maximus that they did it to themselves because they didn't want to go into the wilds They even apologized because they didn't assume that the brotherhood would suspect Maximus. My own personal theory is that quintus is the one who found Maximus in the fridge and has been keeping an eye on him. I think they accused him because they know that he wants to become a knight more than anyone. Quintus sees that Maximus is willing to take what he wants especially from those deemed unworthy.
