Heh - well I saw enough proof of her identity. Besides the personal correspondence, I saw a photo she took combining her student ID, a photo of her and Tracy, and a coin someone had requested. I don't deny that the whole thing could have been elaborately faked, but its past the threshold where it would be worth it. The author of the reason.com article also confirmed her identity. Nonetheless, you're right that an unscrupulous person could probably gather some non-trivial amount of money by basically copying what I did.
