Charming liar

“[Lerena] is clearly an intelligent and articulate person as evidenced by the fact that he was able to present his case without legal representation, notwithstanding the complexity of some of the evidence and issues. He has an easy and engaging manner and it is not difficult to see why, at least up to 2012, he had a successful career in sales and marketing. However, notwithstanding the attributes and the apparent plausibility of some of the evidence, [he] proved to be anything but a credible or reliable witness.”
