If that were the case, why did they make such a fuss in the media about arresting him though? If they wanted to make a deal with him that wouldn't really be helpful.

Personally I think the legal basis for his arrest is just so thin that bail was granted. After all he is not personally responsible. The buck stops with him, sure but he didn't personally partake in any of the alleged activity on telegram.

Keeping a person in custody is a very heavy measure that a judge won't grant lightly.
