If he commit suicide, then he will be a legend.
If I was him, then which destiny would I choose? 30 years in jail, or being a sacrificed hero?
It's tough to make such a decision.
Perhaps he had never thought about the possibility that one day he can be caught.
I want him to keep alive, because, there have been too many heroes in history.
According to his posts on SR forums, he had considered both the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison and/or dying for SR. Of course considering something in the abstract is a whole lot different than being faced with it as a very real, immediate possibility. Whatever romanticised image he might have had of himself may well have dissolved in the face of the cold hard reality with which he's now presented.
While DPR will likely always be recognised as a pioneer for starting SR, I think you're buying into the romanticism if you believe that he'd be regarded as a "legend" or a "sacrificed hero" if he committed suicide.
Spend a few millions worth of my coins to get a good lawyer and make my sentance as easy as possible.
And you're going to prove the money with which you're paying your lawyer is "clean" how? Remember that literally everything related to him is subject to seizure right now. In order to spend/liquidate it, he has to prove it was legally acquired.
He's not getting out for decades. Assuming he even survives prison, would you be confident enough that BTC will still be around and worth something in 30 years to rely on it for funding your post-prison life?
