Go into Debt or sell if going to jail

A friend recently caught charges And he might be going to jail. He holds bitcoin but has a lot credit cards. Friend is debating on maxing his cards/credit for legal/living fees or liquidating and borrowing some of his stack. I told em I don’t thing messing your credit up is a good thing but he says he would just pay it all off in the future when bitcoin is up. What do you guys think? (Hasn’t been indicted yet but facing up to 2-10 years+)
