Revoke his bail as he is now showing an indication of a flight risk.

Yup. Cuz there’s absolutely no way he’d be coming back…

Even if he's being honest about his intention of coming back voluntarily it's still a flight risk as there's the possibility he doesn't come back, changes his mind, etc. No extradition and he has the resources to avoid it anyway.

but of course, we don't really believe he's being honest, do we?
