His parents are law professors, themselves with hundreds of millions they must have gained from their son's activities. We know that they have at least 10s of millions of dollars in real estate to their names.
The probabilty that it's hubris, stupidity or privilege (all suggested in these comments) causing these interviews is less close to 1 than the probability it's a tactic to portray himself as a distracted lunatic with no notion of what happened under his watch.

- stingraycharles 4y agoIt’s probably another case of Hanlon’s razor, “don’t attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”.
- mancerayder 4y agoI think that's the impression intended to be given in the hopes of having a chance to fight the case.
- dundarious 4y agoAgreed, to me even a term like "negligence" seems to lean too far into accepting it all as mere "mistakes". They way he talks about it in interviews, he makes it sound like he was a child operating a handgun, and while he doesn't remember how it all went down, he's very sorry bad things happened.
- throwoutway 4y agoMalice + stupidity would answer this one.
- jonny_eh 4y ago> hubris, stupidity or privilege Narcissism, there's a lot of that going around these days.
- mancerayder 4y agoPeople are too quick to attribute personality traits they're speculating on, when there are simpler explanations. When tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are at play, when a family of career and academic attorneys are involved, it seems simpler to see rational reasons for his behaviors.
