12. Nobody, its a bond

It's basically a promise by the third party to pay if the appeal fails.

In this case the insurance company wrote the bond. A bank probably guaranteed the bond to the insurer and has collateral it has rights to.

But the only money involved were the fees to the bank and insurer, which are non refundable.
