I think many companies hire scientists whose research is designed/manipulated/cheery-picked to produce results that lead to press/headlines/commercial claims which ultimately drive people to buy more of the product. The scientists who worked for the tobacco industry so they could convince the public that smoking was harmless didn't become unemployable. They worked for the oil industry to convince people that climate change wasn't real, and are working to convince the government that food additives are harmless. If you're willing to take money to deliver research for a company that wants to hurt people you'll never be out of work. If this guy had hired someone else to create fake science to drive traffic to his testing centers he'd probably be free and clear.
