Looks like being the friend of someone as slippery as Mr Assange can be an expensive business.

Julian Assange's supporters have been ordered to forfeit £93,500 in bail money after the WikiLeaks founder sought political asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

Still why was the money not held in escrow until his legal status was sorted out and why do they get a discount on the money owed when it's clear he has failed to comply with the bail conditions surely the full amount should be forfeited.
