Sevan, a Cypriot citizen believed to be in Nicosia, was being investigated by the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

Gee, why not Eliot Spitzer's office? Paging the AG...

Sevan got kickbacks for steering contracts under oil-for-food to a small trading company called African Middle East Petroleum Co. Ltd. Inc.

"As I predicted, a high-profile investigative body invested with absolute power would feel compelled to target someone and that someone turned out to be me," Sevan wrote. "The charges are false, and you, who have known me for all these years, should know that they are false."

That statement is just so... so... uh, 'Clintonian' is the word that I was searching for.
