He's probably just as smart as he is greedy. Hopefully we can find a way to put is brain to use in prison. It would be fun to give him the resource he needs to work on hard problems.

I haven't seen substantial evidence that he is exceptionally "smart" to the point that we need to utilize his brain in particular while he's in prison.

I agree. I also really wonder if the donations really did much, or (if like everything else) he just budgeted X dollars for politicians thinking it would magically help him.

[hhh]

He comes off as really dumb and avoidant to me.

[bmurphy1976]

How about we give everyone in prison the opportunity to do good things, use their brains, and better themselves? Why limit it to just this one asshole? Because he's a tech nerd?

You want him to play League of Legends from prison?

[dmoy]

Cruel and unusual punishment: play LoL with a special matchmaking algorithm that always teams you with griefing trolls.

Dunno when was the last time you played but right now this is basically like playing with furious toxic bots

Easy. Just login.

you underestimate timing / luck, and the overwhelming draw of a ponzi scheme.

the main thing he needed was the audacity.. chutzpah... effrontery to ignore the consequences and commit whole heartedly.

He was always going to get caught, and he ignored that.

I wonder what's gonna happen to the cooperating witnesses. Their CTO has been pretty active on GitHub!

He will be highly unlikely to have access to any material outside resources. He’s not going to get special treatment.

Leaving aside whether he would actually be capable of much more than additional grift with those resources.

This is a fun comment because you make him sound like Lex Luther.
