I'm not a lawyer but I believe lying in order to buy a firearm is a crime. Also if the reporter lives in Denver they would have been lying to get around the Denver ban. If the seller didn't recognize the reporter, he wouldn't have Knowingly sold to them therefore not breaking the law. Maybe since they didn't complete the transaction it wouldn't have have been a crime and the cops would have let everyone walk. BUT there would be a record of the incident for other news agencies to pick up.

I guess my question is if you're selling private party and during the transaction you find out the other person is lying, after stopping the sale is it your duty to report them on the spot or to give their info to BATFE after the fact?
