Why the heck is a guy who had to be extradited allowed freedom to travel?

2. His bond is $250,000,000 plus ankle bracelet plus he is restricted to his parents house

He is travelling as a condition of his bond. In other words, he must travel to his parents to keep his bond intact.

4. You Are More Trusting Than I

I know the government agrees with you, but I wouldn't trust the guy without a guard.

7. Where did I fail?

I try to write carefully and I was sure I did not write a word to indicate my level of trust. Please read my post again. Where did I fail?

"His bond is"
"He is"
"He is"
"He must"

3. No body guards?

There people with means who want his hide.
