Mangione said during his arraignment, “I don’t know where all that money came from,” referring to “$8,000 in cash [and] $2,000 in foreign currency” that law enforcement claimed was on his person. Prosecution also referenced a “faraday bag” as part of their argument that Mangione engaged in “criminal sophistication”, while Mangione claimed the bag were merely “waterproof”. This was part of a larger argument to deny Mangione bail.

Edit: apologies for the TikTok, but I removed tracking from the URL and it comes from the official CNN TikTok.

    “I know enough” isn’t something someone who gets their trial law information from Law & Order should be saying. You have a very poor understanding of bail proceedings in the US.

      LMAO, I don’t even watch Law and Order. I was making a joke. Please do inform me where I’m mistaken in anything though if you are an authority on the subject. I fully admit to lacking any sort of legal credentials or experience in law enforcement. I’m just someone with an engineer brain trying to find logical explanations or fill in gaps on things that don’t make sense at first glance.
