This is the bail package, which will take time to get together:

A judge has approved a bail package for Parnas and Fruman, they'll be released once conditions are met:
- $1M bond each
- Home detention + GPS/location monitoring
- 3rd party custodian responsible
- Can only travel to SDNY and SDFL, and must get approval first
Defense lawyer Kevin Downing said their passports were already seized by the feds and they have no other passports/travel docs.
Magistrate judge said he was "reluctant" to grant release given the relative lack of info in the record before him, but was willing to do so given that the two sides had reached an agreement. Parnas and Fruman are due to appear in SDNY next Thursday at 3:30pm
The judge noted that it can take some time for the court to process and sign off that release conditions are met, so Parnas and Fruman will remain in custody and sort of in limbo while that's happening - he urged them to get things together quickly if they want out soon

Trump has friends with private planes and private islands. The FBI will have a big job.

I'm worried for the same reason Epstein's judge was worried, but maybe the fact that the prosecutors agreed means they hope to cut them a break so they roll on Giuliani or some bigger fish.

In the Epstein case, the prosecutors argued vehemently against bail.
