A bail is money guaranteeing an appearance in court 2.

1 paid: As a verb, "to post" can have several meanings. However, when we talk about "posting bail" the verb means "to pay".
1 charged: "To post" does not share a similar meaning with "to be charged" or "to be assessed". We normally say that a "bail" is "set" at 1 million dollars, and that the defendant "posted a bail of 250,000 dollars".
1 sent by mail: It's true that in a different context, "to post" does in fact mean "to send by mail" but this is not the case here. We are using the term in a legal context, and not to express the idea of "sending by mail".
2 money guaranteeing an appearance in court: "Bail" is the money that someone (a defendant, or someone accused of a crime) pays in order to be released from prison immediately, but which guarantees that they will appear in court on the day of their trial. A bail is set proportionally according to the seriousness of the crime as well as the criminal history of the defendant. Usually the defendant is released if they can pay one fourth of the total amount of their bail.
2 money to be paid to the family of the bear: This is just silly, but I'm sure that Cinnamon's family would appreciate anything you would be willing to contribute. A few pennies, some blankets, Harold Warbuckle's first-born child, etc. Visit their website at www.SaveCinammon.Com.
2 a standard lawyer's fee for accepting the case: A "bail" is not a legal fee paid to lawyers. It is paid to the court itself to assure the defendant's presence in court.
2 money paid to the judge in order to make a favorable decision: A bail is not a "bribe", which refers to money paid to an influential person to gain a favorable action or decision. Bail money is paid to the courthouse, and not the judge.
3 250,000: This is correct. A quarter of a million dollars is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In this context "a quarter" is a fraction meaning "one fourth" of one million dollars.
3 4 million: The term "a quarter" means "one-fourth", or 1/4.
3 40 million: The term "a quarter" means "one-fourth", or 1/4.
3 4 payments of 1 million: This is incorrect.
3 approximately 1 million: This is incorrect.
