No it won't backfire. He'll act like a martyr no matter what happens or doesn't happen.
The only difference is whether he's held accountable for his crimes and pretends to be a martyr or not held accountable and still pretends to be a martyr.
As for the cult believing him, same deal. Following the leader blindly is what cults do.
This guy acted like a martyr while simultaneously bragging about a "small loan of a million dollars"
True, I imagine he'd find something else to complain about. Although I also think that he had quietly slipped away (and not horde secret documents), people won't feel so compelled about prosecuting him.
He hasn't done anything quietly since at least the 80s, though..
