They did not have to put up cash or property to secure his release, but they told a magistrate judge they would be “personally responsible” for ensuring that he appeared in court and followed the conditions of his bond. If he did not, the guarantors would be on the hook for the entirety of the $500,000 bond.

In her order, the judge, Joanna Seybert, said that Mr. Santos’s own actions had encouraged the frenzy, writing that his efforts to shield his guarantors’ identities, “notwithstanding the fact that he is aware their identities are not controversial, has simply created hysteria over what is, in actuality, a nonissue.”
