You're right, he was lying about the source of the money for the Pandas books. I've changed my mind, he's a liar. Whoever posted those two links should forget the one about the first "lie". I saw what milquetoast it was and didn't bother reading the second link.
I did read Buckingham's testimony, starting at the top, for about 10 minutes, and achieving compatibility of current memories of old events to memories from 6 months ago contained in an deposition of the same old events seems an impossible task for anyone to achieve. But I agree soliciting the funds for the book is not something that realistically could be forgotten.
