Thus it was a reaction to the publicity and not "normal practice".
But again, depends which part of VM responded to his offer to send in details - also it doesn't say he did send them in, just that he offered to, so it's an expectation of shifting the stance without confirmation

There certainly does seem to have been a better way to handle it, but at the same time, not everyone tells the truth when trying to get out of paying things
