Every time SBF speaks publicly or gives an interview is further proof he is delusional or an idiot because he either hasn’t retained personal legal counsel or is ignoring their advice.

Any lawyer will tell you to shut the F up [1]. No good can come from speaking at this point.

This case is so egregious (ie stealing custodial assets) that he will spend the rest of his life in prison or on the run.

If something is a grey area you might be able to buy your way out politically but this isn’t it.

Classic example: after the Mar-e-Lago raid Trump made statements about how those documents were his and he declassified them. What did this do? It removed the possible defense of not knowing they were there. And he gained what? Nothing. At best it was political points with people who were on his side anyway.

There is nothing smart about SBF talking.
