So given that he did this anonymously, I'm assuming this was an outlet for him to vent frustration he feels, rather than to garner the social benefits of sympathy. Even if they're rich, it seems humans still want someone else to understand what they're going through.

Additionally, the challenges he faces as a felon are relevant to a huge number of people in the US who are not rich, and maybe don't have the ability to reach a wide audience with what they're experiencing.
