If anything, the pressure on Sam might result in him turning on Tether/Binance/other-frauds with key insider evidence for reduced sentencing. The guy's a pvp gamer at heart so probably min-maxing with his lawyers what he can do as a criminal informant.

What? That's such a bizarre idea.
Do you think the lawyers go "thank god this man plays Starcraft, so he understands the need to have a strategy in court!"

I think by "pvp gamer", the GP means someone who preferentially targets other players in open world games rather than grinding the quests. I think they're saying he has a sadist streak, or at least a strong streak of narcissism.
