What argument do you think I'm making? The argument I'm trying to make is that an article serving as an explainer of a complex legal topic should be factually correct, even if it complicates the desired narrative. Do you disagree with this?

As to the bigger question of whether this bail arrangement is reasonable, I don't think we have enough information yet. $250M is an arbitrary large number, and I don't think a percentage is important. The real question is whether whatever agreement has been made is sufficient to pressure Sam into showing up for the trial. Personally, I'm worried that he may still have control of sufficient funds that he can afford to flee and repay in excess whoever takes the loss. But depending on who the unnamed unrelated party (or parties?) are, and what other assets are available for collection, maybe this worry is unfounded. I think we should call attention to the possible impropriety of the arrangement, apply pressure to find out the missing details, but reserve judgement until we know more.

The point is that SBF was able to walk out of jail without paying anything and the author finds this absurd.
