Whatever the outcome. This guy has made a name for himself. Most choose not to do anything because they are afraid of the consequences. He knew the risk, he knew what he had, gambled and lost. This happens often enough. The only way to win in the long run is not to play and thus remain unknown.

The dollar amount of damage is pushed by the prosecution to sensationalize the crime and act as deterence. It has little to do with the actual damage.
