After you get done trying to talk sense to the OP, read this comment:
The issue is not that the man does not have the cash money or cannot acquire a bond.
The issue is that once that money is deposited it will be tied up for years while appeals are addressed.
And in the end, if he loses, he's out the money or the collateral offered to secured the bond.
I would not post the cash.
Bond companies may be saying, we can't help you because New York is crooked AF and that kinda loss will ruin my business.
Just more tough talk from the type of people that could be ruined by someone stealing $30 bucks from them.
