Doesn’t 10 % secure the bond? Mostly refundable if she doesn’t flee.
I thought the 10% is a fee for the person who promises the court the actual bond. Not sure most bonds men have the capital to guarantee 100 million dollars.
I believe that type of bond requires court approval. But who would want to put up 90 million on a very rich and potential international fugitive that may likely flee into a life just as flush as she’s had. Or perhaps killed by ‘other players’.
As for how the bondsman is payed, the 10% is what they keep. But could probably be negotiated, more the likely not.
My guess only. Anybody know different I’m sure they’ll chime in.
Yeah on a cheap bond, but a big bond around 100 million.
No Bonds Smith is going to take that risk. It’s simply too much money.
Whoever does is responsible for the other 90 million if she does not show up to court.
I bet whoever did it required the full amount. They are simply not going to risk being held liable and their own prison time for that amount of money.
No, the 10% is gone money either way. It is the fee collected by the bonding company in return for guaranteeing the full amount.
