I feel sorry for him because the government took advantage of him and confiscated all his coins, leaving him with nothing. His biggest mistake was not being cautious. He also committed a crime by looting large amount of Bitcoin from the silkroad company though.
I don't think you are to feel sorry for him because he committed a crime and was caught. This should be a hard lesson for him that you whatever you do can't be hidden under the sun. I wish he got those bitcoin genuinely, the government wouldn't have any problem with him and by now he would have been a multi millionaire bitcoin investor. Quite surprising that this forum has a member like him and I really wish he is still a member now.
