As for the moron's lies about the tape being illegal, New York's wiretapping law is a "one-party consent" law. New York makes it a crime to record to record or eavesdrop on an in-person or telephone conversation unless one party to the conversation consents. N.Y. Penal Law ยงยง 250.00, 250.05. But we already know the guy is a moron and a pathological liar.
