QUOTE ONE
"Beth Smith says that Da Kine Bail Bonds and its five sister
bail-bond offices in Hawaii and Colorado wrote approximately $10 million in bonds in 2005. Their 10 percent fee gives the
business approximately $1 million in gross revenues, but the business, which has a total of 15 employees, only receives 60
percent of the fee. It pays out the rest to its insurance company and the courts. In addition, every time a client skips,
besides bounty hunting expenses, Beth has to hire a lawyer at $250 a pop. "
QUOTE TWO"Of course, there is more to Dog Corp. than just the bail-bonding business. A&E reportedly
paid the Chapmans $2.6 million for season three. It's a sum Dog vehemently denies, but, when asked, Beth breaks out in a sparkling
Cheshire Cat smile. "I'm not going to confirm it, but I can't deny it either," she says."
