Normally you would get bail by seeing a bail bondsman unless the judge specified cash only bail.
He has to give the court either $140,000 in cash or a bail bond for that amount.
He gets the money back if he appears as promised. If it was a cash only bail and the person is found guilty, the court may hold on to all or part of the bail money to pay any fines due.

Private bail bond agents are prohibited in Illinois. In Illinois, the state acts as the bail agent. When bail is required for a defendant, the defendant is required to pay 10% to the court, in your situation, it would be $14,000, which would be forfeited if he failed to show up for his court appearance. Also, the state has the right to seize any assets of the defendant up to the $140,000 bail amount if he fails to appear. Moreover, the bond ($14,000) would be returned at the end of adjudication (end of the case) minus any court fees or fines assessed on the defendant. He can borrow the money from someone, but if he fails to appear, the person who loans the money has no redress against the state. The state keeps the money regardless.

10%, which equals $14,000. Yes, he borrows the money and then gets it back if he doesn't flee the country minus fees and court costs.

He needs to get a bailbonds-man and they usually require 10% of the bail upfront ($14,000 in this case) and in return they will pay the court.
I believe they get the money back if he appears in court, but he still has to pay for court fees, a lawyer, and everything else involved in the case.

The court gets the full amount, but if you don't have it, you only need to come up with 10% ($14,000) for a bail bondsman to put up the rest...

he has to put 10% down (14,000) to bond out... and technically he gets the money back... ( but it goes to court costs, lawyer fee's ect.) so really no he doesnt get it back to keep. You can borrow the money from a bail bondsman... but my advice is to come up with himself...

usually they pay 10%.. some cases they ahve to have it all.. if they dont have the money.. and they dont have aprevious record they get released on their own recognance.. the guilty party is liable for court costs.. and any legal fees incountered on his or her behalf...
when giving money to a bailbondsman..no he does not get that money back... but posting the bond to the courts yes.. he will get it back if he doesnt flee and if he doesnt get arrested again before the court date...

The court will get it all, a bailbondsman will require between 10-15% to post it for you, of which you will not get any of that back

I believe you only have to pay 10% so 1,400 dollars. I do not think you get the money back.
