The special thing that's going on with SBF is that it's a high-profile story. That sounds like a dumb tautology, but I think it's true. Most people don't know much about white collar crime because it just doesn't come up that often. When a case does become big news, it's worth analyzing it as a case study for how white collar crime is handled in general. The specifics about how he made bail may not be interesting to you, but they obviously are to many other people who don't usually follow this stuff. As an analogy, look at police brutality or sexual harassment. There are thousands of documented instances that all look pretty similar, but occasionally one story, for one reason or another, will explode and shine light on a messed up situation that many people are ignorant of, or misinformed on.
