For a hefty sum and with hefty things attached but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Re: Chris Tappin - parole
Its good to see, but why did it take so long
Also a minor technical point. Mr Tappin is out on bail, this is different from parole, Parole is an early release from prison after you have been found guilty and served some of your sentence.
Mr Tappin hasnt been found guilty of anything and most right thinking people would agree, he shouldnt even be there

Just seen it on the news. It's cost the Tappin family £50K to get bail but at least he's out.

Has it cost them the £50k? - Normally you have to provide a Bail Bond and can provide security for the bail, you only lose the security if he doesnt turn up at court.
Edit - Just read the article on BBC news online, $1million dollar bail bond with £50k upfront deposit, seems extremely harsh for someone set up in a US government sting

This whole sorry affair is a bit harsh to be honest, he shouldn't be in America let alone on bail

good to hear that he has been given bail and can live a semi normal life whilst he fights to clear his name now
