Fair enough. We'll just have to disagree on this. I think he's lying because what he's claiming doesn't make sense. It's too risky for some very smart people to have attempted.
You think he's not lying because it's too risky for him and his attorney to attempt.

I have more confidence in Stern's risk assessment than in Donaghy's.

I also think this is less an attempt to save his a$$ than it's a last-ditch effort from a desparate man to salvage his reputation; in his own mind. It actually fits the pattern of his reputed domestic issues; an angry man lashing out when he's been publicly embarrassed.
