Trump could only pay 20k of his bond (paid for by his PAC) and convinced some poor bail bondsmen to cover the over 180k


WOw a billionaire cant afford a measly 180 thou?

Man I mean that makes no sense... unless he isn't actually a billionaire


surprised pikachu face

In the United States, when bond is set 10% of that is the cash price. The entire amount is collateral like if you put your house up. Idk why I am even giving you information but the more you know I guess…

If you use a bail bondsman...

If you pay the full 200 you get 200 back when you get to court. If you pay a bondsman 20 they front the remaining 180 and keep your 20.

That is incorrect.

Why he did this then ?

Because you are not required to pay the entire amount in cash. This topic is asinine. Just put, “I dislike Donald trump” in your signature and move on…

I'm sorry that in all your run-ins with the law, you couldn't afford to just pay the bail outright.

xd

Move on ok

You are incorrect. No amount of google searches will change the reality of how bail works. Bondsmen are always an option. They are not the only option.

Again, you are incorrect.
