At this point one has to wonder if the prosecutors agreed to these bail terms because they know this guy is so pathological he just can’t stop himself and would go on to make all kinds of stupid moves (just like he did leading up to his indictment).

This is likely one of the many nails he’ll hand them so they can hammer his coffin shut at trial and sentencing.

Also minor nitpick - a "first class private flight" is incongruous. He flew back first class on a commercial flight which has terrible optics but is actually pretty reasonable considering his profile, he (supposedly) had federal agents shadowing him, etc.

Optics are the main reason for judicial process of SBF at this point, to dissuade others and for viewing by the victims. It's not like tossing him in jail is going to bring back the money he stole.
