Other interpretations are possible, though.
As Varoufakis has laid out clearly in his book, he believed at the time to have a better alternative at hand (better for the people of Greek, and better for the people of Europe; worse for some banks and creditors).

His personal account of what he decides to claim and express, particularly the part where he chose to portray himself as both the Savior and the sole victim of everything, including his political party, is not exactly an accurate view of historical events.
His own account of his role on Greece's referendum is enough to understand his personal motivation to come up with his personal story.
I completely disagree. We should expect these meetings to be held in a manner where participants should not be pressured away from doing the right thing due to concerns on how what they might say behind closed doors could be used as a political weapon to attack them. This asshole move from Varoufakis is a clear example, because this leak is designed to attack any political opponent that didn't simply rolled over to meet his personal demands.
This whole stunt is even more egregious if we consider that this boils down to a self-promotion stunt from someone desperately grabbing at their spotlight to manage to get some attention.
