Why did Kim Dotcom not tell the truth?

When Kim Dotcom fronted the Intelligence Committee on Wednesday afternoon, he appeared surprised to have been allocated just 15 minutes. He claimed that he had been allocated 25 minutes, and that no-one had told him that a smaller allocation of time had been made.

That claim has been debunked; Newstalk ZB's Felix Marwick reports:

New information's emerged that indicates German businessman Kim Dotcom was told his submission time on the GCSB Bill was being reduced
On Wednesday Mr Dotcom complained about his speaking time before the Committee being cut and said he'd been told he would be given 25 minutes.
Parliamentary sources have told Newstalk ZB Mr Dotcom was contacted by email by the Intelligence and Security Committee ahead of his appearance and told his speaking time would be reduced.

Telling a fib to the select committee is not a good way to start your submission. What other untruths, partial truths and urban myths have come from the Large German Gentleman?
