Funny thing is, George knapp has said that Bob, to this day gets movie offers, which he turns down. So, if he sold the rights to get a movie made, then where is it. Who holds these rights? Unless you think knapp is lying too.
And as for his latest documentary. He stated he did not take any money , and knapp backed this up, unless you think he is lying about this too.
So, your evidence that he done all this for money, is a handful of interviews and programmes he has done. The selling of bits on his website, and the selling of movie rights, with pretty much no evidence that he did, or is even interested.
Sorry, but your evidence is lacking when it comes to Lazar doing this for money.

As an investigative reporter, one would think Knapp has looked into all the claims and arguments against Lazar.

The finances are a sideshow.
The only question that needs answering is did Bob Lazar really work on alien spacecraft at S4?
If he didn't (and there is no proof that he did) then everything else becomes meaningless.
In Jacques Vallee's latest book - Forbidden Science 4 he recollects a story about Bob Bigelow rumbling Lazar and finding his precious so called Element 115 to be nothing more than commercial emuslifier.
Now Bigelow registered this company. Zeta Reticuli 2, with Lazar as the other shareholder in 1990. He also employed George Knapp at NIDS. If Vallee knew this then I can't believe Bigelow and others never mentioned this to Knapp.
But George has continued to promote the Lazar story as if he could never quite solve it and never mentions this discovery. I wonder why?

No doubt that Lazar's story about him being a physicist doing reverse engineering is BS, and it should be especially obvious to physicists, who should be able to tell that Lazar is no physicist. However Lazar is a clever guy nonetheless and I think while Davis is right about Lazar's UFO story being largely BS, I think Davis is wrong in saying Lazar had no particle accelerator. Davis is probably thinking of accelerators like LHC at CERN when he says nobody has one at home, and of course nobody has one of those in their back yard, but if your definition of particle accelerator is loose enough, 20 years ago, everybody who had a CRT computer monitor had a particle accelerator in their home, which apparently didn't occur to Davis. This is what Eric Davis is quoted as saying in your link:

Astrophysicist, Dr. Eric W. Davis, who appeared in Corbell’s Skinwalker documentary, and knows Knapp, also has reason to believe Lazar is full of BS.
When students think of a particle accelerator, they are likely to imagine the world’s largest ‒ CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). However, not all particle accelerators are used to investigate the origins of the Universe, nor are they in a 27 km circular tunnel that crosses an international border. Much closer to home is the cathode ray tube (CRT) found in old-fashioned computer and television monitors. A CRT is a linear particle accelerator that creates an image on a fluorescent screen by accelerating and deflecting a beam of electrons in a vacuum (figure 1). And although CRTs are many orders of magnitude less powerful than the LHC, the principles of operation are similar (table 1).

Mahood, Friedman, Dan Benkert, and many others have all found gaping holes in Lazar’s tale. Many of the dots have been connected, yet Knapp continues to parade this crap.
Knapp is in too deep. Obviously invested in the story aswell.
Interesting how Lazar/Corbell/Knapp have distanced themselves from Gene Huff and John Lear too.

They're ALL full of sh#t.
Happy now?
In this Post-Truth world, Lazar can soar as high as he wants. 200,000+ petition-signing lunatics can certainly attest to that.
If an ATSer clearly and concisely exposed every lie and fraud associated with Lazar and best mate John ("Everything I say is science-fiction") Lear who started this whole ball rolling in the first place by providing Knapp with an emergency guest replacement in 1989... it would't make a microcosm of difference as far as Truth is concerned - lost forever in a sea of BS.
Lazar is now a Religion.
"I remember that day so clearly in May of 1989. We put it on the air.I had not interviewed him before.We had somebody cancel an interview..."
On March 21, 1989 Bob asked me if I wanted to watch a saucer test flown and I said sure, when?. He said they are going to test fly tomorrow night just at sunset. He and I, Gene Huff and Bobs wife drove in my motorhome up to the back road into Groom Lake and parked just outside the restricted area. Just after sunset the saucer came up from behind the mountains and did some gravity jumps. I got a good look at it with my 8 inch Celestron after it had finished performing and was gently and slowly descending. It looked like a flying saucer oriented about 30 to 40 degrees with resepct to the horizon and was 'glowing' yellow or gold color, actually 'radiating' the color. I watched it for about 15 seconds before it settled back down behind the mountains. The was March 22, 1989. George Knapp went with Bob the following Wednesday and filmed it. The following Wednesday after that, April 6, 1989 was when we all got got.
But my debate here, is did he make all this up for money. I believe he did not, and their is no evidence thst he did.
My point is, he did not make all this up for money

Ok, but earlier you said:

Understand if the second quote was a typo and you meant to put "i believe he did not make all this up for money" otherwise you are very definite that he did not.
Unless you actually are BL (or perhaps GK or JL) we're unlikely to ever know for certain.
As CB said earlier:

I meant I believe. Of course I do not know for certain, no one does.

Eric Davis: “Nobody can put a particle accelerator in their home unless the house or their entire property is dozens of square miles in size."
That's just not true since a CRT is a particle accelerator and CRTs were in many homes:
Build your own particle accelerator
When students think of a particle accelerator, they are likely to imagine the world’s largest ‒ CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). However, not all particle accelerators are used to investigate the origins of the Universe, nor are they in a 27 km circular tunnel that crosses an international border. Much closer to home is the cathode ray tube (CRT) found in old-fashioned computer and television monitors. A CRT is a linear particle accelerator that creates an image on a fluorescent screen by accelerating and deflecting a beam of electrons in a vacuum (figure 1). And although CRTs are many orders of magnitude less powerful than the LHC, the principles of operation are similar (table 1).
I never personally verified Lazar's particle accelerator but his claim about that seems somewhat credible to me, and you can see what he says is his particle accelerator at 9 minutes in this video:
run your car on water. This guy does just that!
Davis admits he never spent much time looking into details about Lazar so maybe he's never seen that video.
Anyway the particle accelerator claim is not really part of Lazar's UFO story as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure why Davis even mentions that. Davis was wrong about nobody having particle accelerators at home, but he's right about the rest of what he said about Lazar's core UFO story being BS.

You can say that as many times as you want, there are things for, and against his story. My point is, he did not make all this up for money. You have not proved anything regarding that.
Like I said earlier. Where is the evidence that he did sell the rights for a movie. I am not talking about news articles that posted once of it, and never brought it up again.
Where is the evidence that a film studio has the rights to his story?
