Even in jail, he'll be 'a rich guy in jail', able to buy all the favours and protection that can be bought in such a place.

I probably won't attract many friends by separately pointing out that "it'll all work out in the end" was also the primary investment strategy of virtually every crypto "investor" who lost money, but that's another matter...

IANAL but it seems all this stupidity may cost him what really matters: he may lose any chance of minimum security prison. That’s the real prize if prison time is all but guaranteed.

He could still get a decade in ClubFed with work release which… while obviously not great, is a hell of a lot better than living under guard in a low or medium security prison.

Doesn't that require him to still have money?

It requires his friends, family and other connections to have money. Which for people like him seems to be basically a given.
