Why I Lied To the FBI & My Defense Lawyers (Dr. Phil Interview)

Did I know that I broke the law? Yes.

Did I work openly with my criminal defense attorneys? No.

Did I try to cheat my way through a lie detector test? Yes.

If I was honest with the government would they have pursued prosecution? No.

If I knew I broke the law, and if I knew speaking openly would help me obtain the shortest federal prison sentence in the most favorable institution, why would I lie??

Recently, I filmed a 90-minute podcast with Dr. Phil. I joined him at Paramount Studios to contribute to his Phil in the Blanks Podcast.

In the coming days, I will post the entire Youtube video and links. For now, I am attaching a small snippet of our Podcast/Video that covers why I lied the FBI and my lawyers–I also cover why I spent money trying to cheat my way through a lie detector test.

His past clients reportedly include Martha Stewart and Bernie Madoff. “Let Us Take The Confusion and Headache Out Of Preparing For Sentencing, Prison and Probation,” the company’s website cheerily states. Paperny, whose fees can run into the six figures, says he’s already been hired by one person caught up in the college admissions scandal and been contacted by a half dozen others.
