It was probably a sting and they didn't know who they were arresting because it probably wasn't just Alexandrovich who has ties to Israel.
This might be especially true if the Feds weren't leading the investigation, or if it was other departments or agencies within the federal government that didn't have a clear connection to Israel like the State Department would.
I don't get the "flight risk" thing, though. Isn't everyone a flight risk when you get them for trying to perv a child? Don't let those fuckers out, and certainly not on such small bail.
I think it's more about capability to flee. For example, some local normie living paycheck to paycheck with no savings probably can't flee far and will just add to the charges if they try. On the other hand, if it's some Mexican illegal, they'll just buy a new set of fake IDs with a different name and SSN, then disappear into another state before the court date comes up.

Oh, I get that. It's just wild that they they caught a bunch of pedophiles, and had to let some-all go because one dude was a high ranking Israeli.
It was more of a rhetorical question. I get the local/federal distinction.
It's still wild they caught a bunch of creeps, then let them go because one had special protection.
We haven't heard about anyone else arrested fleeing overseas, so the other ones given bail were probably just local chomos who weren't a flight risk.

I doubt it was only the one.
