I just want to see what his hair and skin look like when he doesn't have access to his products

he made his 200k bail (he only paid 20K of it) so no jail time just processed.

[-] Jumper775@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How the hell did he manage that?!

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

Bail may have been $200k, but one just needs to pay a bail bondsman 10% and the bail bondsman signs you out with the promise you will show up for your court date. If you don't show up, you owe 100% of the bail to the bondsman since he put his name in for you, and thats when Dog the Bounty Hunter gets called. It's standard practice everywhere, thats why the $200K bond was laughable, it should have been a good 2 million instead.

How did he pay only 10% of his bail? He used a bail bondsmen. Normally when you pay bail you get all of it back assuming you show up to court, but since not everyone can make bail, they have the bondsmen who takes a small percentage of the money but doesn't give it back in exchange for paying the full bail. it's a US exclusive thing I believe (they are illegal where I live)

As for why the allegedly rich man is paying the bondsmen and not just the whole bail... well I'll leave that one up to you.

Getting your bail deposit back depends on the state. In my state they keep the 10% and sometimes make you check in weekly until the court date. I reckon if you pay the full bond you could get back all of it minus the bondsman fee for making sure you show.

Because it's not his money, it's donations from his fans. Why lose out on having all 200k for hamburders if he can just spend the 20?

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Probably with $20k

Each of his voters donated a dollar they stole from a tip jar.
