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.

That would be actually most viable tactic at this point. That would mean we would hear even more insane and immature things from behind the curtains as everything that makes hims seem incompetent.

Come to think of it, maybe this has been a plan for a long time now. That would explain so much of his statements and reactions. Remember CZ saying that Sam is tweeting like a psychopath? This could have all just been his way of acting like a lunatic.

Seems to me ignorance is the only viable legal defense here. That is, of course, if the Department of Justice in the U.S. would be willing to indict him. If charges were on the horizon, he would bail to a country without an extradition agreement so I'm not confident he'll face any repercussions regardless. Seems like these folks always get away with white collar crime as long as they have the right connections. SBF was a well known political donor spending tens of millions donating to democratic politicians in the U.S. Doesn't look like he was donating this money out of kindness.

More interestingly, reports say that FTX was in financial trouble for a long time before collapsing, but strangely they didn't have enough money to pay their users but they are very enthusiastic and willing to donate millions of dollars to Democratic politicians. It's like everything was planned by SBF and he was very well prepared for the demise of FTX. So far, he has not received any summons to question the demise of FTX, that's the advantage of having political friends.
