Say what you will about Kim Dotcom, but if there’s something that we (and the Feds) can probably agree on, it’s that he’s entertaining. After all, what other target of an international manhunt, while under investigation, comes out with a catchy rap tune as part of a New Zealand political scandal? On Sunday, the Megaupload magnate, who had his assets seized and site smashed earlier this year, released the "John Banks Song" on YouTube. The new track was produced with the Black Eyed Peas' producer Printz Board. Its chorus crows: "Nothing to fear / Nothing to hide / He's the majority / So he's all right. / He is John Banks / He got the vote / And that's why Key keeps him afloat / On his cabbage boat." John Banks is the head of the ACT New Zealand political party and the current minister for Small Business and Regulatory Reform. Kim Dotcom is alleged to have donated NZ$50,000 ($38,000) to the 2010 Banks campaign for mayor of the city of Auckland, keeping it anonymous and under the radar by splitting it in two. Dotcom is now set to be questioned by local authorities over this issue. Banks has said previously that he "didn’t come up the river in a cabbage boat." This appears to be a New Zealand English expression meaning that he’s not stupid. Prime Minister John Key is a governing coalition with Banks’ ACT party, and has publicly defended Banks. Banks, however, has subsequently denied that he broke any elections laws, and then said that he could not remember if he’d taken a helicopter ride to Dotcom’s mansion to meet with him. "He took that strategy to a level of absurdity," said Bryce Edwards, an Otago University political scientist, in an interview with the _New Zealand Herald_ over the weekend. "People don't understand the whole case but they pick up on things like the helicopter. People just think the whole thing stinks." The newspaper also reported that his poll numbers had dropped to just 10 percent in the wake of the political scandal, and reported last week that the "Crown lawyers acting for the United States knew before seizing Kim Dotcom's fortune and property that they were using an unlawful court order." On Monday, the paper, which has been filling inquiries through the Official Information Act, also reported that "police officers who raided the mansion of Internet magnate Kim Dotcom put together a list of belongings for United States authorities to seize." Last Friday, Prime Minister John Key denied any knowledge of Dotcom "until the day before the raids even though his senior ministers, a string of senior civil servants, and his own electorate staff were involved in matters relating to him. It has emerged that staff in the Prime Minister's own department were aware of Dotcom and his bid through the Overseas Investment Office to buy the mansion in which he lived with his family."
