Apparently he had 4 Lamborghinis and 3 houses registered under his name living as a 'programmer' in Thailand. He wasn't exactly living inconspicuously. I'm curious how he manged to cash out all that Bitcoin without drawing attention.
It's easy to blame criminals for being dumb after the fact but this one seems a bit obvious... even when in Thailand. He was being reckless.
I'd imagine going from that life style to a Bangkok jail cell can be pretty hard. Still though the trial might have been somewhat of an interesting experience. I guess he had planned for this upon getting caught (he used a towel).
It would probably have been far harder to hang yourself in a high security American jail.
