"All previously sealed documents, including the bond, are to be unsealed to the extent that the names of [Santos'] suretors are to be disclosed," U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert said in a Tuesday ruling.

I've been through some rough patches in life and wish everyone was smart enough and had the integrity to not make criminal/life destroying choices... but man I get enjoyment seeing these people with looks of worry, fear and a decades worth of stress on their faces...

Not yet

Seybert said the bond documents will be kept sealed until noon Thursday in order to give Santos time to "modify the conditions of his release, should the Suretors seek to withdraw from serving as suretors."

I am guessing something will pop up and this won't actually happen.

But of course. He gives them the names and somehow the names are released through the NYT or WAPO
