I think he was arrested right about the time the SEC and SDNY determined that he wasn't live-tweeting anything they hadn't already heard. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake, after all. That whole "Let's just go ahead and call this chat group 'wire fraud'" thing was probably where the Final Jeopardy music started playing, and the UnusualWhales interview devoid of any new information was the curtain call.

I think his parents aren't amphetamine-addled attention whores accustomed to a consequence-free life, which is one of the reasons I have yet to see a picture of them. I'm also utterly unconvinced they did anything illegal. Immoral? Unethical?

Christian Holmes IV was a VP at Enron. What kind of VP? NOBODY KNOWS apparently so obviously he had absolutely nothing to do with anything bad. Did he face any charges? Nope. Did he deliberately move next door to Tim Draper? We'll never know. I mean, the kids probably just liked each other and Elizabeth ended up meeting Silicon Valley over barbecues in a purely organic fashion.

Dude's a senior consultant at BCG and nothing's going to change that. Because, after all, some people are better at criming than others.
