- blitzar 4y agoA couple of magic beans seems reasonable. Eye for an eye and all that.
- klyrs 4y agoThe common interpretation of the 8th is that bail should be set to reasonably ensure that the accused show up to court. With billions on the line, with his billionaire friends involved at FTX who don't want him to narc, the cost benefit analysis of skipping town is absurd. It isn't an eye for an eye. If he pays the bail and shows up to court, he'll get it back if it wasn't ill-gotten.
