You've obviously never spent a night in the poke before, either. Or bailed out someone who has. Which is a good thing. :)
They basically get a bond from someone else for the full amount of the bail at usually around 10% (non-refundable). You go to court, be a good boy, bail gets released back to bondsman, they make a 10% return on investment, you're out 10% (and still have lawyer fees to look forward to).
If you're a bad boy, skip court, flee to Morocco, then government keeps the bail, so tough luck bond holder. Bond holder who will then do a cost/benefit analysis and decide if it's worth hiring Dog the Bounty Hunter or Lee Majors and Half Pint's ex-husband to drag you back in or not.
I was just looking at this because know someone that is getting arrested. Long story but thanks to Grok, I know that this guy is paying is only 10% of his bond.
how the heck do people just have 100k lying around. I've never seen that sort of money in my life!!

Correct as you are, the judge actually did revoke the 10% yet he still managed to post the entire 100k.
