I figured the passport issue would be easily explained. The Paypal, maybe not so much.
Unless you’ve had a long standing account, where these kinds of transactions are typical, Paypal can, and does limit when and how much is transfered. They can hold funds for 30 days.
It’s entirely possible there may have been $135k in the account, on the day of the bail hearing, with George having access to only a fraction of the funds.
Basically, there are two old passports. One of them had been reported lost, so technically already expired when given to the judge in April, but on its face, it expired May 2012. The other one was obtained in 2004 and expires sometime in 2014.
No way he got the 2004 passport anticipating a need to flee in 2012.
O'Mara, on CNN, said that the 2004 passport has been in his possession since April.
O'MARA: On the 26th when I first talked to George, coincidentally I was talking to him about the money and the check. He told me about a second passport. That they had found when they left the state. They gathered up all their belonging. Left the state. Uncovered the second passport.CNN Anderson Cooper, June 1, 2012He told me about that. He forwarded to me in a fed ex package the second passport and the check at one time. As it turns out, we have good documentation that it came to me on the 26th. On the 27th I did a notice of filing to give that to the court file. We were at court and literally it was left in my pleading file until this morning when Bernie, the prosecutor first said to me, we found out about this second passport. I said, hold on, I have it. And I've had it since the 27th or 26th of April. My apologies, but it's always been here.
