SBF is not the first person who thinks they are smarter than their lawyers. It even fits the pattern of "physics person dismissive of other fields" (e.g. https://xkcd.com/793/)!

I dunno if we need to go too far into the particulars of his life to explain it. When Popehat was talking about the legal troubles of people in Trump's orbit this came up a lot (and a lot of those people were lawyers!).

> "physics person dismissive of other fields"

This reminds me of an old physicist-lawyer joke:

A physicist goes to see a lawyer. He knows that above all the lawyer is interested in getting his money. So the physicist not wanting to be taken for a sucker walks into the room and fires right away: - Hi, how much do you charge?

The lawyer fires back: - $400 for two questions. What is your second question?
