are you entitled to your state bond money when the charges are dropped and/or the feds decide to pursue the charges. And there was no bond on the federal side, so the moneys did not switch from state to federal

This is an issue of committal to another court of jurisdiction. When a case is committed to a higher court, the entire case, inclusive of the bail money is transferred to the next court. To answer your question, you are not entitled to your bail money until the charges are dismissed or you are sentenced by a judge.

Yes, you get your state bond money back once the charges are dropped. There will be a detention hearing in federal court and a person will be detained, placed on pretrial release or required to post a bond.

Generally speaking a Bail Bondsman will charge !0% of the bond. Example, your bond is $4000. The Bondsman will charge you $400 so you can stay out of jail. He can keep that because if you jump bail, he has to pay the $4000.

I think it would depend on the state you are in, but most will keep it if you owe any fines, etc to pay towards those. That is how it is done in some states.

I doubt it. Normally the government takes but doesn't give.
