Can you link where the legal fees are confirmed, I am seeing numbers all over the map and excuses like he treated the fund like a personal bank, koch industries paid and other off the cuff fud.
Not really the business of anyone other than him. He was abused by left-wing media trying to score ratings. You have no problem with liberals profiting from incidents like this, but if he tries to somehow that makes him "bad".

Its not emotional to disagree over decency, you may not care how it reflects on you or bitcoin which is fine. OP asked how it reflected on bitcoin community and I feel like I have a voice being part of it.
Have said all I want to say, personally suprised there are people like this but thats life.
Will bow out because the responses are not something I want to give anymore of a platform.
Decency, community...ugh. Please stop talking like a liberal. It's just bad. There is no "community" here. We don't live together, know each other or even share common values. People posting on a message board does not constitute a community. It's a hobby or common interest at best.
What reflects poorly on bitcoin are ideologues attempting to connect their own political/moral opinions to bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin is not a "political statement", it's a method of currency exchange and nothing more. It's neutral...and as long as the transaction is in accordance with the laws of the land there is no problem with it.
