I mean, he was also forbidden from opening up lines of credit (he was in the middle of negotiations with DOJ on making restitution to his victims), something that is perfectly legal and benign --- nonetheless, he was not allowed to do so as a condition of parole.

Opening lines of credit is an attempt to avoid paying restitution. You pay it off with the credit, declare bankruptcy, then stick someone else with the bill. Courts traditionally despise any attempt to cheat the punishments they hand down.
