If you by that mean: someone apologized. Noone pretends like the scandal doesn't exist. Annan still forcefully spoke out against the fraud even though there were family involved. A serious investigation is launched, and the leader of the cabal says, waving off for instance the French when they are blaiming those responsible for approving the contracts in question - the US, that the fault alone is with the UN as an organization. Then yes, the fact that the US "isn't involved" is the reason for the "apathy". It's also the reason why noone has so far managed to come up with any valid criticism of how the issue is handled now.
