    It’s to prevent people from running away instead of going to trial. If you have nothing, no small amount of money will keep you from running. The assumption is that you are getting someone else to post it for you. They are then the ones that keep you in line so they get their money back.

    Absolutely none of this applies to this case though. $200,000 is not going to keep President Trump from skipping off to Russia.
