It's normal for a bond for the whole fine, plus interest, to be posted 
for an appeal. He was already found guilty of fraud last year, the 
latest trial was to determine the amount of the fine. They figured it

the amount of interest on loans if the real amount of the property had 
been stated in the first place.
