I think he's lying, and covered more of the interview in the Anisa thread.
He claims Ian did it in secret, and he wasn't even supposed to mention it. He then also said Fatty has no way of accepting it directly so they don't even know where it goes and that it might have been stolen. I just think it's one of his many lies as he distorts and lies about shit all the time in the interview to make his point, and if he's ever called out on it, he doesn't concede the point but rather changes it and doubles down.
