Yeesh, can't say I'm quite surprised. He always seemed so reasonable and level-headed.

He wasn't acting in Silicon Valley. That was just him

Remember kids, “see something, say something” only applies to people we like.

He explained the situation and claims that he saw a suspicious package and thought he was doing the right thing.

The Hollywood strike is the perfect time to give it a go. He’s already been (rightfully) shunned, so there’s not much downside for him to be a scab now.

Not to defend the scumbag or this scammy “web3” nonsense, but working for studios not part of the AMPTP during a strike does not necessarily make someone a scab. If the studio in question has their own contract with SAG then it’s 100% kosher.

This is why a lot of “indie” productions from studios like A24 are going forward while the rest of Hollywood is stuck doing nothing.
