https://twitter.com/GMA/status/1598296985010073600SBF talking to the media when he might be facing down the barrel of a grand jury indictment on charges that would confine him to potential years in prison. His lawyers would have advised against it because his statements would be used against him in prosecution. Unless he's aiming to portray himself as utterly incompetent therefore not subject to any criminal liability, there is no benefit to talking to the media.
Amazes me that this person was trusted with billions of funds. If the ignorance route is the legal strategy for SBF, he'll have to convince a lot of people of his utter stupidity and ignorance to have not known that user deposits were being used fraudulently. As if anyone is dumb enough to believe it.
