He's a guy who believes he's way smarter than he actually is. He's confused luck with skill and thinks he understands things better than everyone else.
He doesn't consider the bad case scenarios because in his mind, he'll have planned for them. But he is in this scenario. Which is a bad case. That he didn't plan for. That is bad because of his attitude and lack of planning.
He thinks he can somehow fast-talk Congress into thinking he didn't commit a crime.
He's going to go to jail thinking that the jury fucked up by finding him guilty. If they just understood, they'd realize he's better than everyone and deserves to be free and rich and to use your money.
- _5uxp 4y agoTo a certain point, he got special treatment like almost no other in recent memory. From top people/investors too.
- CPLX 4y agoI think this is taking him way too seriously. He’s an active drug addict and career criminal. His ramblings about how it was someone else’s fault and he just needs someone to give him a little more money because his plans were sound make just as much sense coming from a white guy with impressive parents as they do coming from anyone else.
- bena 4y agoHow do you see that I'm taking him seriously? I'm basically calling him at best an average guy who believes he is brilliant because he got lucky and who now believes his own press release.
