Cuban is a billionaire, but even if he's worth say 'only' $ 750 million it means the $ 750,000 loss represented about 0.1% of his net worth.

In other words, if you assume the average American is worth say $ 500,000 (counting house, savings, retirement, etc) then its the equivalent of $ 500 in losses. Not a small amount but hardly worth breaking the law over.
