You clearly don' thave a fuchsing clue how these negotiations go. It starts with minions calling the agents saying how much is X, how much is Y etc.
You also can't be fuchsing stupid enough to believe we worked on offer sheets back and forth for a week then flew a jet with all the AADs, one of the senior attorneys and a few others, just to check into whether he was interested or not. They fully expected to fly home with him and ended up looking stupid, probably because he changed his mind and decided living in LA was cooler.
The truth is there probably was no formal final written offer, just tentative offer and counteroffers just like in any other major written contract, so he may not be TECHNICALLY lying, but he'd get hit with a perjury charge in court for testifying like that if he didn't tell the whole truth.
Now shut your blowhole before we send you to clown land for soundling like one.
