He displays many of the tendencies of a narcissist or sociopath: never wrong, what benefits me is what matters, I'm the smartest one in the room, willing to flout societal norms, frequently lying or shading the truth to benefit themselves.

He had so much working capital to play with, and he could have gotten huge amounts of more money to invest based on his crypto genius reputation, he could have probably gotten 100 million to make more of those random investments and hoped one would hit. Meanwhile, he could have paid himself a few million dollar salary. I read somehow a few of his random investments did succeed in having much larger value, maybe it was anthropic. Instead he'll be a prisoner for a long time.
