I figure that once you admit to someone trying to bribe you, that someone's finances will probably be investigated, and if it seems like they really gave you bunch more and you lied about the amount, that's potential trouble for you.

They're convicted felons for the crime of fraud. Of course they're going to try to commit more fraud about how much money they offered you.

You lied or the guy giving you the money took his percentage.

Who are you more likely to believe? The one reporting the crime or the one that committed it?
