That's a funny question to consider. I wonder if this has sufficiently shattered his world-view such that he'll no longer do interviews.
This includes the convictions and statement of the offense that comes with a guilty plea, though, too.
Because he has such a great tendency to shoot himself in the foot in the legal sense, it sounds as if encouraging the judge to grant his release so he can carry on incriminating himself in interviews would be a smart strategy from the prosecutor's POV
Maybe his own lawyer will be arguing against release
I don’t agree with this theory, as I think it’s rather likely SBF will be viewed as a flight risk.
• His heavy involvement in the cryptocurrency space makes it likely he has significant moveable digital cash reserves that cannot be easily seized and which would greatly aid an escape.
• He has shown himself to be extremely mobile and was seemingly already attempting to get some distance from the USA, given that he was arrested in the Bahamas
• The gravity of sentences charges he’s potentially facing are vast, and he has many incentives to flee prosecution if it means potentially dodging spending 10-20++ years in jail
I therefore think it’s very unlikely he gets bail.
Although possibly more relevant is the reasons Kevin Mitnick was denied bail; what can he do from a computer?
I’m very interested to see if the parents are charged.
lol. lmao even
Lots of people are speculating on sentencing, some are comparing SBF to Holmes, but IMHO it's likely in this case he is going to plead guilty. Whatever comes out in a criminal trial could be used against SBF in the civil cases brought by the SEC and CFTC. Assuming SBF will plead guilty, given the amount of the losses he has caused, which far exceed the amounts involved in Holmes' fraud, what sort of plea agreement will SBF be offered.
One theory of why these charges against SBF were brought so quickly is that the US attorney is extraordinarily confident he can obtain a conviction. The "brilliant" SBF's idiotic public behaviour after the bankruptcy filing has no doubt has made the government's job much easier. This makes sense because as many readers will know, generally federal prosecutors do not like to lose and they will not gamble. Their egos and reputations may be at stake. They want slam dunks. For Damian Williams this is probably a slam dunk. Assuming he does not make any significant mistakes.
