Consider that Nicholas Rekieta may not have had the resources to pool another $5,000 for his wife's bond.
Nick did not just post bond; he posted his $50,000 bond through a bond bail servicer. That meant he only had to put up probably only 10% of the bond or $5,000. It also took him almost an entire week from date of arrest.
If he had the money that many assume he has, he could have easily paid the $50,000 right away and without the leveraged assistance of a bond bail firm. He did not.
Instead it took him almost one week for....$5,000.
