He's a classic confidence man and probably a narcissist. He probably thought he was the smartest man in the room because he surrounded himself with yes men. I don't doubt that he knew what he was doing was unethical and probably illegal, but since everyone else in the world was dumber than him they would never know. Then reality came crashing in all at once and you're seeing these interviews where he claims it was all a big misunderstanding and you should feel bad for him because the big mean market was so unfair to him. Absolute horseshit. Dude flagrantly played with fire and got burned.
