People with 8 and 9 figure bail don't go to the bondsman on the corner. They usually have their own armed guards from companies like Guidepost Solutions enforce their home detention and it is usually secured by bank accounts or real estate owned by their family or other rich people they know.
- dredmorbius 4y agoSeeing as I'm all but entirely ignorant on the nature of large-figure, high-profile bond guarantees, do you (or anyone else) have references for what arrangements are typical?
- from 4y agoHere are some high profile examples: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.448898.53.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.44...

- dredmorbius 4y agoAt least the news items don't seem to discuss the mechanics of large-figure bail. Just establish instances of same. (I've yet to dive into the PDFs.)
- from 4y agoThe PDFs especially the first are more instructive in this regard.
- dredmorbius 4y agoGetting to those now (the display on these is ... other than desirable...) Informative though, thanks.
