Is he getting special treatment or do people not have detailed knowledge of how the criminal justice system operates and so are objecting to any perceived leniency at every step?

No, probably just special treatment: https://twitter.com/whalechart/status/1606293657518080001

That judge recused herself because their husband works at a law firm that advised FTX - note the husband did not work with FTX, other people in the same law firm did. We found out about it from the judge, to avoid the appearance of impropriety - not because any impropriety is alleged to have happened. This wasn't even the same judge who approved the bail. I'm not seeing the conspiracy.
This really seems to me like a Thursday in the criminal justice system, with every single step being scrutinized and cast into the worst possible light.
