Roman Polanski is still trying to get out of a Swiss prison as he waits for a decision to be made about his extradition to the United States for doing it with a 13 year old girl in 1977. According to sources:
Lawyer Herve Temime says the offer Monday includes "adequate guarantees" that Polanski will not flee justice if released. The 76-year-old director is awaiting a decision on extradition to the United States.
Switzerland's Justice Ministry rejected a bail offer Friday, considering Polanski a high flight risk. They noted it was not a cash offer.
Temime said Sunday the new offer would include a "very, very significant" cash amount, but on Monday, he gave no further details.

Here's an adequate guarantee that he won't flee: leave him in jail. Those bars are harder to bend than you think. Alternatively, he could send this very significant cash amount to me, and I will personally go to Switzerland...and buy all the cheese I can fit on the airplane while blogging about my trip the whole time. Seems like a win-win situation to me.
