Maybe the judge looked at the Durst Organization and decided this was not much money.

Now you know why Leia called him Stuck Up. He was the only Corellian she had ever dated who had his own face on his underwear.
So Durst does it all for the nookie of his cookie in a Suwanee shanty that he ponies alimony?
Get a disco tape from Sam Goody!
There was a story in the NY Daily News during the trial that Durst could be linked to the disappearance of two young girls in Ca. One in the bay area where he has a home and the disappearance of 17 year old Karen Mitchell here in Eureka, Humboldt County. She was abducted off of Broadway at 10 AM just a few blocks from my business. Durst has a home here in Trinidad. The police dept has been teasing us with followup to Karens disappearance lately...
Durst bond set at $2 billion06:53 PM CST on Wednesday, December 3, 2003
GALVESTON, Texas - A judge set a bond of $1 billion Wednesday on each of two bond jumping charges for New York millionaire Robert Durst, who was acquitted last month in the killing of his elderly neighbor.
Although Durst was found not guilty of killing 71-year-old Morris Black, he has remained jailed because he fled Galveston shortly after his arrest in October 2001.
Before setting bond Wednesday, state District Judge Susan Criss said she was concerned about Durst's ability to flee because he has financial means and his prior history of running when facing accusations or problems in his life.
"The biggest problem with bond for him is the risk of flight because he's never not flown," Criss said.
After setting the bond, Criss left the courtroom but then returned to make sure that the attorneys heard her correctly.
"One billion with a 'b,' that is the way it is," she said.
If Durst does post bond, other conditions he would be subject to include regular drug and alcohol testing and 24-hour monitoring, for which he would have to pay, Criss said.
Defense attorneys told Criss that they felt their client had learned his lesson about fleeing from authorities.
"What he's learned in the two years we've represented him is he needs to stand and fight," said defense attorney Dick DeGuerin.
Prosecutors argued that Durst should not be granted bond because he has no ties to the community and no established residence in Galveston.
"This is a person who not only has the experience but the ability of cutting up another person. He presents a danger to the community," said prosecutor Joel Bennett. "He's run all his life. There's no reason to believe he will change."
Durst has said Black was shot during a struggle for a gun after Black illegally entered his apartment on Sept. 28, 2001.
The cross-dressing millionaire claimed he panicked and -- thinking the police would not believe him -- he decided to cut up the body, bag the pieces and dump them in Galveston Bay. Everything, except for Black's head, was recovered by authorities.
After disposing of Black's remains, Durst fled to New Orleans, but returned to Galveston and was arrested. He posted bond and became a fugitive for six weeks before his recapture in Pennsylvania after trying to steal a $5 hoagie and some bandages.
Prosecutors described Durst as a calculating, cold-blooded killer who shot Black to steal his identity. They said Durst cut up the body and twice fled Galveston as part of an elaborate plan to hide his guilt.
After his rearrest, Durst has been held without bond on the bond-jumping charge, which carries a possible prison term of two to 10 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.
Durst was not eligible for bond while awaiting trial for murder.
Following Durst's acquittal for murder, his attorneys filed a motion asking Criss to consider setting "reasonable" bond on the bond-jumping charge.
Durst's family runs The Durst Organization, a privately held billion-dollar New York company.
