While Real Clear Politics correctly identified Bernie Marcus as the co-founder of Home Depot and Chairman of the Marcus Foundation, many who shared the above-quoted story incorrectly stated that Marcus was the current CEO and President of Home Depot:
This is because when you post bail for someone you are given two options. Either you can pay the fee directly to the court, or you can use a bondsman to pay the fee. Naturally, which option you took is going to sway how and when you get your money back. Find Out The Case Status. You are not going to be able to get your money back until after either the defendant has been acquitted or the charged against them have been dropped. In the event that the individual is found guilty, your bail money will go towards the court fees.
You have two options: 1. Pay the entire bail yourself, if you have $10,000. You will get the money back as long as he attends his court date. If he doesn't show up, that $10,000 becomes the court's money, forever, and your boyfriend will have another warrant out for his arrest... and next time his bail will be higher.2. Pay a bail bondsman 10% of the bail, in this case $1,000.And probably have to put up some asset for the rest. If he shows up for court, you get to keep your asset, if he doesn't show up for court, the bail bondsman will be able to take that asset from you through legal means, or get that bail money out of it.y b/f is in a Wisconsin county jail and his bail was set as a cash bond of $10,000. A relied inmate and a friend of mine swear that I would only have to pay 10% thus, $1,000.
