It's time for Captain Obvious
You do know that they love this stuff. No such thing as bad press. We have a real, as someone said, "Catch me if you can" type villain/hero. Remember, this kind of stuff sells papers and makes tv shows. I would even bet they will bail him out and keep him. They love people like him. He's not the only one he just is the most notorious. It's a dysfunction seeks dysfunction kind of thing.
Let this not be a distraction though for what is possibly coming.
