NOTHING FISHY...Don't forget going through a bail bondsman you can put up collateral...like a house. So you really don't pay out $300,000. You instead say you would give up your home if he doesn't appear for all his hearings. So there are many ways to post bond without cash.

The collateral only has to meet the % of the total bond.
