That's where I grabbed my screenshot from and looks like it's still there, but a few down from the top now.

Yeah normally you get the full amount of bail back from the court. The 10% fee is what a bondsman charges as interest / risk of your fleeing.

To expand on why this isn't a good look - bail bondsmen typically charge a non-refundable 10% of bail. So if you're a former mayor who shit on your own legacy by trying to overthrow the government and your bail is set at $150,000 that means you're paying a bail bondsman $15,000 that you won't get back ever. That $15,000 is a fee that they apply in case they need to hire a bounty hunter to drag your delinquent ass to court.

A person usually tries pretty hard to raise bail without paying a bondsman because they don't want to lose that 10%. So this is basically the equivalent of Giuliani going to a Payday Loans lender to get an advance on his paycheck at a predatory rate.

Afterward, he told reporters, “I talked to the President [Trump] today. I wish him well.”

Isn't that against the terms set by the judge for Trump not to talk to con-conspirators?

Edit: The typo stays, since it fits.

I agree so much with the additional tiers. It feels like once you're decently geared out in T4, anything outside of NM dungeons just gets too easy. Legion events, world bosses, hell tides; they all just get smashed with no real effort or sense of danger. I think having a T5 with enemies starting at level 100 and up would be awesome.
