CNN: Bannon has 5 million bail bond, restricted to travel in Southern and Eastern districts of NY.

Judge Stewart D. Aaron set bail for Steve Bannon that includes a $5 million bond to be secured by $1.75 million in cash or real property and two financially responsible persons as co-signers.
Bannon will also receive pretrial supervision and have his travel restricted to the southern and eastern districts of New York, the district of Connecticut and the district of Washington, DC.
Bannon will also be restricted from using private airplanes, yachts or boats without permission from the court.
Bannon will be released Thursday on these conditions, with the terms of the bond due by Sept. 3.

After all, he got permission before conning people and stealing their money, didn't he?

I wonder if anyone is stupid enough to co-sign for him.

There is always a "large difference" between the bond amount and the amount required to post for bail. Exactly if it was someone who has a bond of $1000. They don't have to pay that amount either.

or cases where someone is deemed a danger to others, etc.

Bail SHOULD NOT be based on your ability to pay.

Wow.

Well, he better lay low and be careful so we can see what he's got.

He might have been better off staying in custody unless he has bodyguards and security.

He meets all the conditions anyone else would. We either have a bail system or we don't.
