No. You pay $200k and don’t get it back.

To who?

To who[m does one pay 10%]?

In most jurisdictions, a third party - known as a bail bondsman - may put up the bail and you pay him 10% cash, which you never see again, and sign a contract assigning your bond to him. He then puts up the whole bond. If you fail to appear, under the contract and applicable law, the bail bondsman can hire a bounty hunter to return you the authorities. The bondsman and bounty hunter split the bail.
