It's wild to me that he hasn't simply had a heart attack and died from the insanity of his actions and the consequences of it all.
Imagine throwing a life like that and he's barely turned 30. Hubris and foolishness can lead to one's own grave.
edit: I'm not wishing for his death. That's not what my comment was about. More on the psychological impact of deception at this magnitude and could any person cope with that.
Apologies if my comment sounded like wishing for someone's death. I promise that was not my intent.
I'm aghast at the magnitude of his disastrous actions and wondering how could someone cope with the situation he put himself in, from a psychological point of view.
I 100% believe you. But just imagine if you were reading comments like those about yourself, and imagine there were a ton of them. We don't want HN to be a generator for that kind of thing. We all tend to underestimate the impact of our comments by a good 10x.
Well, that's one way to look at it. The other way to look at it is that he's still insanely rich even though he's lost the vast majority of his fortune, and he probably has it locked away in a place that the Feds can't get it... so as long as he gets to a non-extradition country, he will probably be better off than 99.99999% of the people currently residing on this planet. I'd rather not travel because authorities are out to get me than not travel because I'm too broke to do so.
He said the whole thing was a calculated risk. He only spent five years on crypto so he has plenty of time to try again. He probably wasn't counting on prison time though.
