Smollet paid a bondsman $10K to get out on a $100K bond. When you do that you don't get that money back.
**EDIT** After reading more I don't know if he paid a bondsman. The laws may be different in Illinois. But when you are released after just paying 10% of your bond you usually don't get that back.
