Can you not use gaslight in place of dishonest? I know it's popular, but the behavior really needs it's own word. Also, nothing about a corp stretching the truth is hard to understand for people, I hope.

I'm cautious of diluting that word too. in this case I'm looking at it more as a future distortion of reality where they continue to say they were forced to do something that they were not forced to do.

all gaslighting is a subset of dishonesty.
