if he thought the leak will help his defense then it's not irrational at all, even if he has to pay for it now

  It's irrational in that his defense was mostly he was in easy over his head and had no intention of defrauding anyone. His actions are making that angle impossible.

    being in over his head while being "manipulated by an evil ex" still sound pretty rational. pretty desperate, but not too inconsistent at least.

      The problem is the Court of Public Opinion matters not one bit. His attorney's could have spun that defense in court. What was there to be gained by his actions? Nothing... in fact, it appears it only served to make his situation worse.

  It appears to be an exceedingly myopic decision: Preparing for trial at home instead of in confinement would be far more beneficial to his defense groundwork.

    well if they bet the farm on "blaming the ex"... who knows?

      That would be an incredibly shortsighted legal strategy given the trial hasn’t begun. Far more likely is he feels a compulsive need to “clear the air” and has zero clue that it’s extremely damaging to his legal defense.
