Everything this idiot says to any random interviewer from any random media outlet is ammunition for his inevitable prosecution. He's already said incriminating things; for instance, his Dealbook Summit interview established some of the predicates for wire fraud.

It takes years to bring a complicated federal financial services fraud case to trial. We're barely into the top of the first inning. Be suspicious of people with bad analyses of what's happening right now, like the idea that SBF is somehow serving his own best interests by speaking publicly about this stuff.
