The Instagram Hottie Who Jet Set Right Out of Hawaii with ZERO Punishment - PART TWO

The Foundation: Why Bail Agents Matter

If your intention truly is justice—which means advocating for the rights of victims and securing resolutions where those victims are made whole—then you must acknowledge a fundamental truth: the bail agent is integral to finalizing that process.

We cannot have every single person accused of a crime languishing in custody indefinitely when they should be allowed release pending their return to court. The presumption of innocence stands, and its a net positive on the state’s balance sheet to remove the burden of providing housing, food, and medical treatment to those stuck in overcrowded conditions at OCCC.

But unfortunately, from time to time, the justice system gets played for a fool, as a result of falling for a pretty face, a bullshit excuse, and an empty apology.  Now let’s dig in! 

The Court Hearing: IG Hottie’s Masterclass in Manipulation

Before we get to what happened in court last week, let’s rewind and review the events that brought us there:

The IG Hottie failed to appear in court months ago and a $50,000 bench warrant was issued. The bail bond company—who posted an $11,000 bail bond—now owed the state the entire amount. The bail agent, who’s a talented recovery agent as well, located the IG Hottie in Florida and despite efforts to apprehend her in both California and Florida, was denied the nationwide warrant necessary to lawfully arrest the fugitive outside of Hawaii.

Last week, the IG Hottie finally appeared, but only after being found by her bail agent and persuaded to fly back.  Here’s a summary of what happened in court:

The Defense Attorney's Pitch: The IG Hottie stopped taking her medication but is taking it now. She's communicating well. She voluntarily came back to court knowing she could be taken into custody—that shows good judgment, may we forgive her failure to appear?

The Reality on Record:

The record makes the facts clear: the bondsman’s declaration confirmed that the defendant had traveled to Florida without notifying either the court or the bail company—a direct violation of her bail conditions. After weeks of unsuccessful attempts to convince her to return voluntarily, she was ultimately persuaded to fly back to Oʻahu for court under the bluff of a pending mainland arrest, a no-bail hold, and extradition. In reality, the prosecutor’s office never authorized the necessary warrant to make that arrest possible—so the mere threat, and some random luck, was enough to compel her return.

The State's Request: Increase bail so she's taken into custody today, or place her on supervised release so conditions such as electronic monitoring can be implemented. She's already demonstrated she's a flight risk.

What the Court Did: 

The court recalled the $50,000 bench warrant, reinstated the original $11,000 bail, and set aside the forfeiture. The defendant was ordered to remain on Oʻahu, with the warning that any violation would result in a no-bail warrant.

Pretty Girls Get Away with Murder (Almost Literally)

Hot Take: The heavy hand of the law should have maintained bail at $50,000—or higher—given the IG Hottie’s extensive arrest record and documented past mental health issues.

Instead, the court got played by the IG Hottie’s siren song.

The judge showed compassion toward the IG Hottie for appearing “voluntarily,” overlooking the fact that her return only happened because a bail agent located her and managed to pressure her into flying back to Oʻahu—using a threat of arrest and extradition that was ultimately unenforceable, given the prosecutor’s refusal to enter the warrant into the national system.

🧜‍♀️ The Siren's Song: When Beauty Clouds Judgment

In Greek mythology, sirens were enchanting creatures—part woman, part bird or fish—who lived on rocky islands and lured sailors to their deaths with their irresistible song. They didn't kill directly. They sang promises of love, safety, and revelation. The sailors, unable to resist, steered toward the sound... and crashed against the rocks.

"The Instagram Hottie" fits that archetype almost too perfectly.

The Instagram Hottie's song? 

She serenaded the court—through her attorney—with a tale of “mental health,” wrapped in a soft-spoken demeanor and an innocent face. And the system, predictably, steered straight into the rocks.

Instead of demanding accountability, the court showed too much grace in giving the IG Hottie credit for "showing up voluntarily." Instead of enforcing the NCIC warrant that would have protected other jurisdictions, agencies bickered. Instead of consequences, she got compassion.

The song worked.

As I write this newsletter, the IG Hottie has 35 criminal and traffic entries in eCourt Kōkua spanning only from March 2023 to present. She has 7 active cases right now. Her criminal history is littered with affluent men who later filed temporary restraining orders against her after the honeymoon phase ended.  Even social media was buzzing with warnings from actual victims:

She is a mobile sugar baby—a modern siren living off desperate men who bankroll her mischief across state lines. The court heard her song, not her record. The melody was mercy; the lyrics were liability.

The IG Hottie WILL miss Court Again; Here’s a Proper Playbook for Next Time

When the IG Hottie posted bail and did not appear in court, the process is supposed to be… 

There is a 30-day period from the time a bail agent is served with forfeiture paperwork before a judgment is finalized. During this period, agents are allowed to file a motion explaining why the judgment should not be finalized.

The statute specifically uses the term "good cause"—and that ambiguity is intentional and deliberate.

Good cause can encompass:

1. Reasonable diligence in searching for a defendant

2. Explaining the reasonable expectation of capture given an extended period

3. The iron-clad, best-case scenario: having already apprehended and surrendered somebody into custody within the 30-day period

Some interpret "good cause" as singular in focus—meaning only that the defendant has been apprehended and surrendered. However, if that was the true intention of the statute, it would have simply stated so. There would be no deliberate leeway built into the law.

Hawaii case law explicitly states that the government should favor returning fugitives to custody over collecting forfeitures. Established case law further makes clear that forfeitures should not be seen as a revenue stream for the government.

The Perversion of Process

What was supposed to be—and has been explicitly written about as—a period for a motion to be filed has somehow morphed into an expectation that payment shall be made within 30 days. It's remarkable.

There's a legal process that seems to just be skipped over when it comes to bail. Yet other legal processes—eviction, foreclosure, probate, divorces—take months, sometimes years for resolution. The bail agent, however, has been put under a spotlight where, according to some state agencies, within 30 days the fugitive must be in custody, even if they left the jurisdiction altogether.

You Know I’m RIGHT on This ⬇️

The government’s refusal to enter a nationwide warrant is not just bureaucratic negligence; it’s the functional equivalent of abandoning prosecution. Bail exists to secure a defendant’s appearance, yet the State should not penalize a surety for failing to do what the State itself refuses to pursue. Without a valid nationwide warrant, the bail agent has no lawful authority to act beyond Hawaiʻi’s borders. The result is absurd—the government breaches its reciprocal duty to prosecute, then blames the surety for not performing the impossible. It was only through an empty threat and pure luck that the IG Hottie came back to Oahu after weeks of work from the bail agent; next time, she might not be so inclined.

Let’s not punish up-and-coming bail agents for the government’s selective enforcement. When the State elects not to pursue extradition or a national warrant, the message is clear: their view is the case isn’t worth pursuing. The court cannot reward that indifference with an $11,000 invoice to the bail agent. If the prosecution won’t pursue its own fugitive, the bail agent shouldn’t either, and the forfeiture should be set aside.

The Final Word

When the state refuses to pursue extradition, refuses to enter warrants into the NCIC, and then expects bail agents to pay forfeitures anyway—that's not justice. That's a shakedown.

The Instagram Hottie walked out of that courtroom with a smile, a lowered bail, and zero accountability. The bondsman walked out still facing an $11,000 obligation that won’t be exonerated till the case is over.

Who got played? We all did.

Stay vigilant, folks. The sirens are still singing.
