I did nothing wrong and these allegations are totally unfounded.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it and wish it would have turned out differently.

I have not attempted to hide from it.

I played with the big boys and this is the result - sometimes you go into a business and the upside potential is so great that you close your eyes and look the other way. I looked the other way and the other way has come back to smack me.

I have cooperated fully with the federal investigation for the past three years because I have nothing to hide.
