He isn't saying he lied, though. His statement is ambiguous to that. He is saying his statements were false but he doesn't state when he knew that to be the case. So, as far as his filing is putting out there he understood his statements to be accurate while he was making them. Which, when it comes to defamation law, is an important distinction. Not so much for car theft.
