He still has to pay it. He's been offered a bond which is typical and a small percentage of the total owed paid immediately to prevent further punitive action.

There's literally an industry for it (bail bonds) though arguably there shouldn't be.

Same basic system, pay small for now lose appeal pay all.

And I'm case you didn't know there's an industry around "court bonds" as well.
