Yes, essentially it wasn't him that fabricated it but he's admitting that the failure to nip it in the bud before it started to snowball was down to him. I'm not really convinced. His adamant stance on turning down his pay-off suggests quite strongly, to me, that he has "other funds squirrelled away" that mean he doesn't need it. Where those funds might have come from would be pure speculation, of course... *ahem*.
