Unless he's a REAALLY close friend or relative I would ask him what the hell he's talking about.

He probably says that to everyone hoping to find an easy mark just in case.

And if he wins he'll never tell anyone. I don't think anything he says could be enforcable. If it was there'd be a lot of cases like that in court. I wouldn't worry about it.
