I was under the impression that he was a right-leaning crypto bro that saw a bad CEO and "solved the problem". I don't think he even considered the material conditions of capitalism or the fact that we're in a class war. I think he was close though. Kind of like becoming a lefty without actually talking to any lefties.
In the manifesto I saw he basically apologized to the FBI for causing all the trouble. Letting them know that he acted alone.
He definitely wasn't the type of person I would imagine a CEO killer to be.
He is probably to young for that, but when bitcoin was first presented it was quite popular among leftist, who hoped it would destroy the dollar hegemony.
That felt very out of place imho
Ehh, maybe... I figure if it was a plant I would expect it to say something like "I trust the FBI to do the right thing" or "Law enforcement is good".
We likely won't know for a while if at all.
