These are interesting points. Social media influencers are constantly judged. Thats one reason why they’re putting themselves in the public eye. Of course it’s natural to want all judgment to be only positive.
The guy also posts about the issue and offers his explanation. Most criminal defense attorneys would tell their client to quit doing their best Bankman-Fried impression.
Regardless, with his own posts he’s helped keep things visible instead of just letting the legal process play out.
And by posting about his misfortune on social media, he is arguing his case to “a jury”, just not the actual jury.
Perhaps from all this he’s getting more clicks and views especially in the off-season. And if he’s selling more merch from this, thats good for him.
In any event, if it goes to trial the real jury will decide. Although, his own postings may potentially affect that, too.
One issue could he how many people for the jury poolin that county, have viewed his social media posts and were “influenced” on this issue, one way or the other. Whether they have been, should come out during jury selection.
