This is a remarkably generous framing. Is there some reason the SBFs of the world are "puzzlers" and the hundreds of thousands of other people in prison are just criminals?
If literally describing how SBF's mind seems to work is "giving", then I have to say...
...damn you must judge people so hard. :D
> ...damn you must judge people so hard. :D
I'm advocating for not judging hundreds of thousands of people more harshly than you appear to judge SBF. Again: what makes him different?
Eh, it's not excessive or obeisant. It's simply a straightforward commentary on how the guy seems to think.
Written in earnest, mind, for other community members, some of whom are awkwardly attempting to Judge-Judy their way through the situation.
What does that really contribute, all the commentary on how evil this person is?
Is it supposed to _not_ look like projecting? Eh...I don't think that's working too well. And the news headlines do a way better job anyway.

This doesn't make sense.
Also, give me someone to compare him to if you are looking for comparative logic. Otherwise do the comparison yourself, it's clearly not that kind of comment.
If you think he's not different because you think just like he does, then you may have an everybody-thinks-like-me problem.
There were about 26 billion reasons for that, at one point.
e: to be clear, I am pointing out a fact of how the world works here, not condoning it
If you are looking for a stereotypical "bad person" example, IMO it's at least a good idea to have an accompanying "bad context" or "bad environment" condition, or your own assessment will tend to be full of ethical blind spots.
Every single one that caught is an idiot - they misunderstood the system they were trying to rip off, they misunderstood and/or didn't think through what checks and balances exist in the system to catch things after they happen. They are idiots.
I mentioned the same thing, it doesn't seem to make any difference in situations involving extreme consumer-advocacy flex, I mean who are we to attempt to get two completely separate lines of thought to coexist ;-)
