Yeah, but if they paid in cash then they don't pay the 10% to the bail bondsman and that's a guarantee. Is that 10% tax deductible? And all the calculations on earnings don't include that tax that would be paid on those earnings which, if you can round up $400,000 on a moment's notice, then is probably going to be in the highest bracket. And the lost earnings also depend on how long the $400,000 is unavailable.

Look, I agree with everyone about the foregone earnings and/or interest if they had to borrow the money, I was just trying to figure out how the system works and the answer is that if you pay in cash then you get all your cash back.

Do you have an opinion about this NC statute as a reason for her to cry rape instead of be taken to the detox unit:

At the time of the 2002 incident her license was already revoked. Her taxi spree kept it revoked another 4 years per NC DMV rules, which would include the night of the party.
