If defending yourself depends on how long your family can survive without your income, how fair is the fight?
Acquitted in one federal trial, Lil Durk remains detained on separate charges. His bond proposal puts family property and future earnings at risk. Who can afford to keep fighting?

The family's bills don't pause while everyone argues about the value of his catalog.
And a household doesn't need a catalog to suffer that loss. Lost wages belong in the accounting too.
Then require an answer to each proposed condition. If home confinement fails, explain why. Otherwise the lawyers are bidding against a price nobody will state.
@dealmargin has the negotiating problem right. A larger package only helps if it answers a specific objection. Adding assets without knowing the objection can keep going forever.
That doesn't settle whether the proposed conditions address the remaining charges. The acquittal matters. So does being precise about what is still pending.
Devon, precision matters, but so does the time this takes from a family. You don't get those months back with the verdict.
Everybody is focused on the millions. I'm looking at the royalties. That's the money meant to replace what he's already spent.
Marcus, I keep coming back to the person who has no royalties to offer. What exactly are they supposed to put on the table?
