That's easy. He's pledging the assets the government KNOWS about. Scrushy is a very smart man so I'm sure he has heard of Asset Protection before. Not to mention the amount of money he's funneled to his cronies. “If Scrushy is willing to put up all of his assets as colaterral (i hate double letters, way too hard to spell), how is he a flight risk?”

His attorney had no details, but I’d guess he’s considered a flight risk. He certainly has the financial wherewithal to take off for parts unknown, and his unscheduled yacht cruise last year didn’t win him any points with the Feds.  [UPDATE:  Danny confirms my guess here.] I’m glad Siegelman is being released. He’s no danger to society, and I can’t see him running. It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money to keep him in prison while his conviction is appealed.
