Literally speaking, Denny was appointed by Google to Google, so "Google appointed board member" is not untrue, though "board member on Google's payroll" would be less confusing. As for a member of the "Googleplex" who is "a little tarnished", well that's a mild way of putting the facts about illegal activities of major public interest, very polite even. To help debunk conspiracy theorists, it would be interesting to find out how many of the board of trustees have shares in Google, a useful way of finding out who is part of the Googleplex. Presumably current and past employees would have taken their stock options. Is that possible to discover from the public record in the USA?
