Kinda odd that they care so much then - like it's probably just some rich friends of SBF who were happy to put money up for an old friend, but didn't want their names plastered all over the news.

Isn't the point of journalism to find out what's happening instead of making assumptions about what's probably happening?

Old friend? The guys 20-something. How does he have "old friends" that can spring $250M for him overnight?

He's out on a personal recognizance bond. Nobody put up $250M

That’s exactly what’s at the core of the request — if it was some rich friends of SBF, maybe they’d be happy to gift him the money — but the requirement is that the invidividuals providing the sureity be sufficiently at arm’s length that they would be able to influence him not to flee - so that they could get their money back.

For all we know at this point, they could be co-conspirators.
