But the tape, for whatever reason it was made, is authentic and he sounds anything but a victim.

I heard that one of the sports memorabilia dealers expected "company" and hit the record button on a portable Olympus voice recorder just before they were barged in on. That is how the audio came to be.

Or maybe he made the audio looking at the tape as something else to sell.

Any memorabilia dealer of sound mind in a Vegas Hotel possibly expecting OJ or other visitors, he would want 2 tape recorders, 4 cameras, all the major news media with spy-cams and 15 clean witnesses...It is Vegas where people get knocked off for stealing someone else’s quarters from a slot machine...The dealer probably has made deals there before, and if not, he may have been tipped off that OJ was coming....OJ’s Coming..sounds like a freaky movie title
