I didn't say the media made this up. I said the figure of $300,000 is the figure that came from a story by Bill Kaplan in The Globe and Mail, which I never fought back on, on behalf of my client. This figure is the one that was floating out there, and I never specifically asked whether it was $300,000 or it was less. I knew about three payments in the tens of thousands of dollars in cash.
