Seeing all those videos that came out when he was first arrested gave the impression that he was a 'bad' person who deserved to be in jail. Hearing him speak gives a completely different impression, obviously he'd have to be smart to have the success he has, but this video goes to show he's articulate, convincing and well versed in the industry that he is a part of. Clearly the early propaganda served a purposes, but this video shows reality.

Since when does being articulate, convincing and well versed in the industry make you a "good" person?

The guy has several previous convictions for fraud, insider trading and handling of stolen goods.

I'm not saying that he is a good person, just that he's not so bad as all the information that came out made him seem.
