Remember, he tried to lie his way out of it first.

What did he "lie" about? Specifics would be good.

Well, how about some of his initial statements such as

////Reached by NEWSWEEK, Bennett acknowledged he gambles but not that he has ended up behind. “Over 10 years, I’d say I’ve come out pretty close to even,” Bennett says, though he wouldn’t discuss any specific figures. ////


http://www.msnbc.com/news/908430.asp

////Some of Bennett’s losses have been substantial. According to one casino source, on July 12 of last year, Bennett lost $340,000 at Caesars in Atlantic City, and on April 5 and 6 of 2003 he lost more than $500,000 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Some casino estimates put his total losses over the past decade at more than $8 million.////

////But during the 18-month period, the documents show, there were only a few occasions when Bennett turned in chips—worth about $30,000 or $40,000—at the end of an evening. Most of the time, he drew down his line of credit, often substantially./////

He wagered millions of dollars on video poker and slot machines, claims he didn't lose money when all the evidence and a near mathmatical certainty would suggest otherwise...., I'd call his absurd statement a lie.
