5. "Brad Bondi, a lawyer for Milton ... is the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi"

so, maybe it will cost him nothing more. A vow of fealty to Lord Trump, perhaps. Though there is this:

"Campaign finance records show that Milton and his wife donated more than $1.8 million to a Trump fundraising committee in October."

A cheap donation, given this:

"Milton has sold roughly $400 million in stock in Nikola, which delisted its shares from the Nasdaq a few days ago. Two weeks ago, federal prosecutors asked the judge from Milton’s criminal case to order him to pay back nearly $661 million to shareholders."

If that $1.8m means he gets to keep the $400m, and forget about the $661m, it's a terrific return on investment.
