Indeed, Larry Sinclair was arrested on an outstanding warrant (reportedly for insurance fraud) in the state of Delaware promptly after the conclusion of his press conference. To the best of my understanding, he is still in a District of Columbia jail awaiting extradition to Delaware. There is also an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Colorado on felony theft and forgery charges.
Early on the morning of Tuesday, 17 June (Central European Time), I received an e-mail message from Mr. Sinclair seeking my opinion regarding his polygraph examination and asking if I would call him or his lawyer, Montgomery Blair Sibley, that day. While I do not in any way endorse Mr. Sinclair's claims, I saw no harm in sharing with him my views regarding his polygraph examination (which in any event, were already posted here). I thought it best to put my remarks in writing as a protection against being misquoted, and I thus e-mailed him a summary of my observations regarding the polygraph examination that WhiteHouse.com arranged for him. I later forwarded this e-mail to Mr. Sibley, who wrote back asking whether it would be okay to refer the media to me. I replied stating that while I in no way endorse Mr. Sinclair's allegations, I would be happy (as always) to answer reporters' questions regarding the polygraph.
And that is how I ended up being mentioned in Mr. Sinclair's press conference, video of which is available from LarrySinclair.org:

My e-mail to Mr. Sinclair has also been included (without my having been consulted, although I don't object) among other documents on the site:

WhiteHouse.com held its press conference shortly after Mr. Sinclair's press conference ended. Dan Parisi, the proprietor of WhiteHouse.com did not provide the video of Sinclair's polygraph examination that had been promised in his press release, and after reading prepared remarks, he cut off questions and ended the press conference after only four minutes. WhiteHouse.com has since been scrubbed of any mention of the press conference.
Audio of both press conferences has been posted to Archive.org in a single audio file. I have extracted the WhiteHouse.com portion and attached it to this post.
I think it's fair to say that while Larry Sinclair's credibility has been thoroughly impeached, no thanks are due to the pseudoscience of polygraphy.
