Also, it was very nice of his lawyers to let him keep an even 10k.

I can see where you're going here, but keep in mind that the possibility is just as much as him topping up the remainder to an even $10k.

Except he asked for donation to support his case, I dont see him having money to top anything. Let alone that you cannot trust a guy like him.

Oh really? Were you also one of those idiots who jumped on the "Geohot has fled the country" bandwagon when the news came out? Keep in mind that 1. He has close ties to the EFF, so he's probably donated to them before, and 2. He wasn't bankrupt. He still managed to spend spring break in South America. If people are willing to support his fight against corporate tyranny, more power to him.

Hey guys, it's cool if you don't care about looking educated and all, but if you are all going to complain about the same thing then someone is going to bring up the fact that the maximum you can send over Paypal at one time is $10,000.
