The he-said/she-said of these comments makes me think that nobody is actively distorting, but that it's just such a big company that different people can have wildly differing experiences.
There are people who are low level enough to maybe not have seen this stuff.
But I also saw stuff that, like that letter, I consider to be wrong. The latter refers to criminal actions-- I am not a lawyer so I can't say whether what the company did was illegal or not, but I certainly thought it was wrong.
One thing about that letter that rang true in my experience was that the company does not follow its own internal policies or handbook.
Amazon HR was dishonest to me, deceptive and engaged in what I consider to be fraud.
