You are probably right. But I wonder how she could not be considered a flight risk. Her recent history includes a decade of a massive, deceptive (using a shell company, etc.), and brazen theft. And she's up for a possible 30 year sentence. Who is a flight risk if not someone like that?
- true_religion 5y agoI don't think you're allowed to use unproved allegations and the fear of a possible conviction as part of the calculation of a flight risk. After all, they are innocent until proven guilty. Mostly, the court should look at family, employment, track record of appearing in court, financial status. The only thing that would mark her as a flight risk is finances as she is wealthy enough to run away. However, if she does run she'll loose free access to the majority of her fortune which makes her less likely to run.

How would anyone be a flight risk if you exclude these factors. Fear of a possible conviction is pretty much the only reason why anyone would give up their current life to flee.
- mypalmike 5y agoIsn't the allegation considered proven in that she pled guilty?
- true_religion 5y agoThat's true... I hadn't read the article before I commented. :)
