Blotto_Otter posted:this is an absolutely moronic, insulting explanation on several levels... and yet I am tempted to believe it, because of course this dude would be as bad at using the internet as he is at playing videogames. I don't necessarily buy it yet, but I find it entirely plausible that someone once showed him how to use a VPN to get around regional lockouts while in the bahamas, and he never understood how that works so he didn't realize it's completely unnecessary for watching the loving Super Bowl from San Francisco Much more likely he bought the subscription year(s) ago to watch the NFL in the Bahamas (there is perhaps also a price or feature advantage of the "international" version of Game pass over the "domestic" one?). When travelling back to the USA over time he ended up wanting to use his subscription & it didn't work. Rather than buying the other gamepass, he just installed/ used a VPN. Since then, he doesn't even think about it and just mechanically logs into the VPN to access his game pass when he's in the USA.

Since then, he doesn't even think about it and just mechanically logs into the VPN to access his game pass when he's in the USA. did he actually travel to the US that much? I was under the impression that he mostly stayed put in the bahamas because it was considered a more favorable location for him to commit crimes every hour of the day. if he did come back that much, this explanation would paint him equally as stupid imo, because a) where is he staying that doesn't already have a way to watch NFL games and b) he's wasting his time dicking around with a VPN to be a cheapskate about TV subscription plans while embezzling billions of dollars EricBauman posted:i dont buy it. his dad was probably in the next room watching it on normal broadcast tv. to be clear, I think the government should assume this explanation is bullshit, revoke his bail and toss him in jail pending trial (they won't do this), at which point I personally would then choose to believe that the explanation was actually true, because that would be the funniest possible outcome

yeah he's just trying to explain his actions in the worst most confused way possible, like always "yes your honour i used a vpn, which was strictly forbidden by the terms of my bail, but I'm a big dummy that couldn't work out how to watch the Big Game"

i bet as a kid whenever he did anything bad he'd give these long improbable tales about why and his parents just went "oh you", falsely giving him the impression that he's this master liar that can talk his way out of anything

once again, i don't know what blackmail material sam's parents have on the people they "convinced" to be their son's attorneys, but there's no way it's worth it. those lawyers are gonna start offing themselves after the first day of trial when sam tries to clear up all those unfortunate misunderstandings unprompted

They will never revoke his bail because he is continuing to commit more crimes that they can prosecute him for later.

If you keep committing crimes while on bail, the prosecutors have to keep delaying the trial until they investigate all of them, so if you keep committing crimes they can never try you
