A bail bond is like a mortgage where the money down up front grants you access to the full loan amount. $700k down for a loan on $250m sounds like a pretty sweet deal, so I would assume the parties involved are reputable people and all parties think there is a high likelyhood Sam will show up to trial.

  Why go out of you way just to be rude? There was already another comment that helped me learn this detail. I don't have time to follow news like this so closely, so sorry I answered a generic "why don't people have to pay their full bail?". I guess it created some noise in a thread but somebody had already corrected me, all you're adding is vitriol. Hope it made you feel good because all it did was make me regret coming to HN.

    > Why go out of you way just to be rude? That is totally fair, but it's worth noting that this exact topic has been beaten to depth multiple times on HN over the past weeks/months. That's probably why you get some gruff replies at this point. But it's also fair to note that you weren't asking a question, you were claiming to know the answer, but were wrong. That also gets gruff replies ;-).

      I know, but people need to stick to the rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) regardless of how wrong another comment is or they feel it is. The thing to remember is that even if you don't feel like you owe better to the wrong comment, you owe this community better if you're participating in it. (I don't mean you personally, of course; I mean all of us here.)

    Why go out of your way to lazily invent obviously false details about bail? You can just say "I don't know," or nothing, or ask further questions. Curiosity and naivety is fine. Making things up is obnoxious. There has been a ton of the exact same kind of lazy thinking on these SBF bail threads, and it's tiring. I apologize for the gruff response.
