Kim Dotcom has absolutely no idea why New Zealand turned on him

(He doesn't know? Maybe the Mana hit him on the head on the way down?)

"The funny thing is I haven't changed and I don't think I've done anything wrong. I'm still the same guy who only a matter of months ago people were cheering for." 

The Mega mogul, who last year separated from wife Mona, said the negativity was making life too difficult to stay. "What's the problem with me having bail in the US in accordance with my offer to return then I'm out of here? 

"The Prime Minister will forget about me, New Zealanders will forget about me and I will be gone." 

He said he was sure he and his estranged wife, who currently lives in an adjacent home on his expansive Coatesville compound, could come to an arrangement that meant he was in constant contact with his five children. "I'm sure Mona would go to the US with the kids." 

Dotcom, who founded the Internet Party, which then forged a controversial and ultimately disastrous alliance with Hone Harawira's Mana Party, said his political intentions were "pure". 

"The Internet Party stood for good for all New Zealanders. I thought I was doing people a favour and it backfired."
