I sat and had deep discussions with top class lawyers and thinkers for the past 1 week. I have accumulated loads of strong evidence and documentation. You can proceed with the case, I'm waiting to face it. Don't come to a judgement based on these accusations, let the court decide. I bow to justice. Thank you."
