It's hard to tell how rich he is exactly... but I bet we're not thinking enough like a con man, and missing some angle.
Maybe he could start a fundraiser because of the 200K, but pay only 20K to a bondsman. Maybe his 20K cheque, will bounce back. Maybe his joke about fleeing to Russia, was no joke at all. Maybe going through a bondsman, saved him some paperwork, or time. Maybe he expects to be indicted on more charges, and have to post bond several more times... 10 times like this would be the difference between 200K for a bondsman, vs. locking up 2M. Maybe he found a sympathizer to post the 200K, and charge him 0%.
I like where your head's at. I'm gonna go with the expecting more indictments angle paired with not being as rich/liquid as he'd like everyone to believe. What an unavoidable situation he's found himself in.
