Looks like I was totally incorrect about the amount of money GZ spent, I stand corrected and I do apologize...the above report was just posted on WFTV's website..
Considering that the page was created before he was even arrested and he has spent over $50k of the money so far, it should have been disclosed at his bond hearing. Availability to a huge lump of cash is something that has to be looked at when judging his flight risk.

What I did notice at the bond hearing...the family members consistently stated about finances "Not that I'm aware of", I thought it came off as pretty cagey and evasive at the time, turns out it was...
Zimmerman created a website to raise money for his legal fees. His attorney claims he just found out yesterday. The prosecution will ask to raise the bond. His legal defense could cost 500k-1 million.
The judge will be told tomorrow about this and I don't think the judge will be happy about the dishonest fact that his defense and family told the judge he had no money.
Can Zimmerman be trusted after this lie? He allowed his own family to testify saying he has no money. His whole story should be questioned.
When did he make the statement to the judge about having no money?
When did the web site appear?
When did the web site attain $200k?
I know, details, details, details.
Website was launched on 4-9-12, GZ was arrested on 4-12-12.
It would seem that while he was in jail the account grew to 150K by the time of his bond hearing, now unless there are jailhouse videos where his brother or a family member disclosed what was in the account, I don't see how GZ would have known the amount at the bond hearing, with that said, his family may have known particularly since they were awful cagey about their answers about the finances i.e. GZ's wife consistent answer to financial questions was "Not that I'm aware of"...
An additional 54K was donated between the end of the bond hearing and Wednesday...It would appear that about 5K was used towards GZ's bond and 50K has been spent since he got out of jail on setting up house outside of Florida...You would think his lawyer should have questioned where he got the money to do this...
