Seems excessive considering her theft was for 12k, done at an average of 89 bucks a pop. If she's stealing less than 100 dollars at a time I'm guessing a 100 dollar bail would have been just as effective as 18 million.

It’s not excessive.

She was charged with almost 800 counts. Each count has an arbitrary bond of $25k. If you add up the total amount of bond for each count you end up with $18 million.

When she has an actual bond hearing the judge will probably overturn the arbitrary bond number and award something more reasonable.
