Especially since she has posted explicitly that she did NOT know she was 
working for Sungenis!

It's possible that she's lying. But I find it hard to believe that if 
she knew who she was working for, and his reputation, that she wouldn't 
have been able to predict the backlash that would ensue. So if she was 
concerned about her reputation among science geeks, she wouldn't have 
done the project in the first place -- it would be really stupid to do 
it knowingly, expecting to back-pedal later.
