I've been through some rough patches in life and wish everyone was smart enough and had the integrity to not make criminal/life destroying choices... but man I get enjoyment seeing these people with looks of worry, fear and a decades worth of stress on their faces...

The speed of his aging gives me Palpatine vibe.

I am guessing something will pop up and this won't actually happen.

Do they know?

Not yet

Seybert said the bond documents will be kept sealed until noon Thursday in order to give Santos time to "modify the conditions of his release, should the Suretors seek to withdraw from serving as suretors."

Lol. Give up the names or get back in the box Mr. Santos. Which will it be?

or, "If the people who bailed you out don't want anyone to know it was them, they can yoink their bail money."

But of course. He gives them the names and somehow the names are released through the NYT or WAPO
