This is crazy. It seems like SBF is determined to go to jail. Put another way: it seems like he's so full of himself and deluded that he thinks these interviews

This is crazy. It seems like SBF is determined to go to jail. Put another way: it seems like he's so full of himself and deluded that he thinks these interviews, Tweets and (now) an appearance before Congress are good ideas.
They are not. The one thing you should do when facing a likely criminal indictment is to shut the F up. Every statement you make can be used against you and remove your legal options. You may be admitting to things that the prosecution would otherwise have to prove. Yes, interviews aren't given under oath but then you have to argue what you said was a deliberate lie or you were mistaken. The prosecutor will have a field day with this: "what else did you lie about?", "were you lying then or lying now?", "how are we to believe anything you say when you've admitted that you lie?", etc.
His parents are lawyers. They should know this. He should have legal counsel. They will definitely know this. So he either doesn't have legal counsel or is ignoring their advice.
He will absolutely spend the rest of his life in prison or on the run.
