[Avodah] Refusal to pay, BM 17a

[Yitzchak Schaffer]

That's just it; acc to Rashi, there's no denial, no lie on record. The edim say, be-fanenu teva'o li-feroa' lo ... /-lo para'./ Then, because he was me'iz la'avor a.p. BD, he's no longer ne'eman. So IHN, why le-fi Rashi is he called kafran if he never lied, and why le-oso mamon?
