Giving a clean million for a plea deal, which generally costs 30k (or free, federal defenders are actually good at this) is a waste of 970k of people’s money. He basically lit a million dollars on fire, which should have gone to an actually useful appeal effort. He doesn’t run a “p2p rights” organization, because rights organizations have the goal of actually making precedent that protects peoples rights, not making million dollar donations to law firms.

He wasted a million dollars, yes, he should get blasted.
