What happens to bond money if the defendant is found guilty?
In any case at all, if the defendent returns on the appointed date, the bail/bond money is returned. It doesn't matter whether he/she is found guilty or not, as the bail money is only a deposit, meant to ensure that the defendent will return to court.
If you post 10 percent bail for someone they appear in court but is found to be guilty do you receive a refund of your money back?

What are the consequences if found guilty in a civil court?
Civil cases have no jail/prison time attached to them. The decisions usually involve money amounts as punitive damages.
What happens if you bail someone out of Jail and they are later found guilty?
The bond money is only to ensure that the accused shows up for court. As long as the accused attends all their court appearances, it makes no difference whether they are found guilty or not, the person putting up the bond will have it returned to them. If the services of a bail bondsman are used, the only cost will be the fee for using their services (usually somewhere around 10% of the bail amount). However - if the defendant fails to make a court appearance the bond money is forfeited to the court. Bail is a fee that is paid to the courts to ensure that a person charged with a crime will return to be tried. If the accused does not return for trial, the bail money is forfeited. If the person returns for trial, the bail money is returned. So, it is in the interest of the one paying bail to ensure that the accused returns. That is where bail bonding companies come in. For a fractional amount of the bail, they will pay your bail up front. If you return for trial, all is well (they get their money back and keep your fee). If you don't, they send a bounty hunter to find you and collect the entire amount of the bail (and turn you over to the authorities for skipping bail). But a guilty finding has no effect on the bail payer. Otherwise, bail bonding companies would all go out of business very quickly. The same is true when an individual pays bail. If you pay someone else's bail and they are later found guilty of the crime, that has no effect on the bail payer. If the person returned for trial, the bail money would have been returned to you. If you pay their bail and they skip, you lose the bail money and will have to find the person to get it from them. If they are ultimately found and tried and found guilty, they will be sentenced for their crime (jail, fine, etc.). But the person who posts bail is not affected by the verdict in the criminal case. Paying bail for an ultimately guilty person is not a crime.

What is a prosecutor's motivation for plea bargaining?
To try and get a lesser sentence for confessing to what you have been charged for. If you plead not guilty, but then are found guilty you will have a much worse punishment than if you were to plea guilty. This doesnt mean plea not guilty though. If you can get out of it 100% go for it! good luck

If your bail was 3 million and you pay 10 percent what happens to that money after the trial?
In theory, you get it back. In reality, you only get it back if you are found "not guilty". Oh, you might get it back if found "guilty", but usually the state, as part of the sentencing, will impose a fine equal to the bail money, so they don't have to return it.

What is the difference between bail and remand?
Bail is when you are released pending your court hearing. You are bailed against a bond (a sum of money). Remand is where you are not released pending your court hearing. If found guilty the amount of time you spend on remand is counted towards the amount of time you have to serve. People on remand are considered too dangerous to be released on bail.
