He also did a media tour after things blew up instead of just shutting up, which from what I gathered isn't the best idea for staying out of jail. Real overconfidence in his charisma?
The fact that he did this instead of executing a planned escape and going to hangout with Ruja Ignatova is the main reason for me to think he believed his own shit.
- bensecure 3y agoEither he believed his own shit or he was certain that he was smarter than everyone else.
- JohnFen 3y agoI suspect the latter. I suspect even worse -- that he believes not only in his own genius, but that everyone else is actively stupid.
- paxys 3y agoDid media tours while out on bail. Leaked his ex-gf's private diaries in an attempt to intimidate her. Decided to testify at his own trial. I'm almost certain that he thought he would give a grand speech and all the jurors would instantly take his side, just like he had experienced with VCs, journalists, employees and other sycophants for the past decade.
