>>And if Willey had no intention of being "bribed" by the publisher in L.A., why did her lawyer negotiate with him for six weeks? Why negotiate with him at all?

There is a big difference between being paid to write a book relating her story and being paid to write a book that adjusts her story to fit the publisher's political stance. I believe Viner was trying to do the latter. Examine the following:

Viner says that there never was a book there, just a chapter. So why did he attempt to reopen negotiations as soon as he heard of the 60 Minutes interview? To try to influence her one last time by dangling $300,000 in front of her? And why did he drop negotiations and immediately try to discredit her as soon as her story had gone national? Seems a strong political agenda exists in all of Viner's moves.

Btw, the news is reporting that Willey also turned down money for her story by the Star when she decided to go on TV. Next thing Penthouse will claim she was offered $1,000,000 by them to pose.
