Didn't want to change the title but the interesting bit of the article isn't the bail, it's the first sentence of two:

"US prosecutors say a British computer expert has admitted to creating software that harvests bank details.

But Marcus Hutchins' own lawyer says he denies six charges of creating and distributing the Kronos malware."

I find more interesting the final part.

Everyone is sympathetic with Mr.Hutchins, including a UK MP, Courage and the EFF, and in this time of real-time (or near real time) communications, noone (including all the friends and colleagues at DEFCON) managed to put together the US$ 30,000 for bail in time.
