“I have to fight for what I believe; because these are false accusations, First of all, I didn’t spend 183 days per year at that time at all. I was busy fulfilling my professional commitments around the world. Second, I’ve paid everything they claimed I owed, even before they filed a lawsuit, So as of today, I owe zero to them.”
