I think it's worth noting that they aren't even bothering to give the appearance of seriousness, even in this high profile case against a fairly unimportant guy. A disgraced former billionaires opinion is still more valuable than that of the public at large.
- tptacek 4y agoI don't know what this means. Bail isn't a public referendum on how bad the guy is. It's a mechanism for ensuring people show up to trial. SBF is going to show up to trial. All the stories about how he won't are all predicated on elaborate schemes where all his assets are hidden, which moots the whole bail discussion anyways. It boils down to: people hate SBF, and wish he was in a jail cell. They're likely to get their wish. I'm comfortable with my "loathing SBF and people like him" bona fides, but I don't have my understanding of public policy wrapped tightly around those feelings.
