It’s an open question for kinder souls, and while I think I’m an honest, even sometimes generous spirit when disappointed, there is nothing my decades of life observations that can persuade me that she’s truthful in her sudden realization of fault. That said, i am grateful that kinder souls exist, like you, praying to god or gamer (or some electrical charge that created all of this accidentally) that we evolve into better, moral beings and the world my grandchildren inhabit as they grow is less destructive than ours.
You have a kind nature too. Even healthy minds dislike or rail against corrupt behavior followed by questionable explanations and admittances that seem hollow.
I’ve been thinking about this largely because I found her defense so outrageous, and her moment of epiphany even more so. Truths we believe in, especially those we tell ourselves are not relative.
Harming anyone is deliberate. She’s lying - or don’t you think so?
You ask a great question because while, to me, her statements (now) seem socially aware, it is easy (for me too) to question the sincerity of her not knowing what she was doing at the time she was exploiting people.
So, yes, her defense is as you wrote, "outrageous." I'm not sure where on the credibility "scale" people will place her comments about what she claims.
What she insists she believed at the time could be truthful, regardless of how absurd it would have been for her to think. Selfishness, I offer to you to debate, is not always viewed by the perpetrator as deliberate, no matter how obvious is seems to those victimized and observers.
Yet yes, absolutely, the worst of the worst among us know that harm is deliberate.
So is she lying? That is certainly plausible IMO. Definitely. Part of me believes she possibly didn't connect the dots as she asserts.

The ultimate bullshit defense
A fair assessment. A lot of people agree with you, I'm sure!
