I suspect he values his 'reputation' above all else.

He may as well be in jail in solitary confinement. And there have been several hints that he may be kicked out. You never know what makes someone tick.

(26,261 posts)4. True, but he also appears to have an out of control ego
I wish he'd try to make some sort of deal, but the legend he might be, in his own mind, could "trump" any common sense.
However prison is a lot worse than being at an embassy. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who could take well to prison life.
