Incompetence/negligence vs reckless/intentional can in fact change what somebody is charged with. But besides that, it certainly can affect how strongly we condemn him for it. Was he a gamer dweeb over his head or was he literally planning to steal hundreds of thousands of charity money? There is an ocean of difference.

I'm making no excuses for him and have no attachment for him. I just don't want to be part of an overzealous internet mob, because if it was incompetence, I can imagine many youtubers this could potentially happen to. Who thought it'd be easy to do something good and screwed it up.
