Seems awfully short-sighted to announce a huge easily disproved lie as you are looking for a security position. None of those motivations make sense in todays security job market.
I agree, and I am confused how the parent comment could think any of those 3 motivations make any sense.
If the person who made the claim is lying, which is going to be pretty obvious with a little bit of time, they've flushed their own career down the drain. Risky move with little potential gain.
