LOL why did he need to put a picture of his kid and wife?
Trying too hard?
I have nothing against his family. That's his business.
But the picture seems a bit out of place. Something you would put in a greeting card for Christmas to friends and family.
The same reason politicians when they are running for office traditionally kiss babies on the campaign trail. It's to imbue them with an aura of goodness, and common humanity.
As soon as I saw that photograph I was instantly suspicious of his motives. He also wrote (in defense of his crime) a scathing criticism of the US government, and portrayed himself as a hard working man unfairly criminalized by unjust government regulation. It was an extremely transparent attempt to appeal to the libertarian or anarchist sympathies that are held by much of the Bitcoin community.
