Article says it's in arbitration so it's not like they aren't doing anything about it. And one can assume they're still paying their lawyers quite a bit during the arbitration. Also the person can be forced to sell off assets to pay for damages.

Also at the end of the article it says he pulled out 27 million he made in doge coin from 4 million he invested of Netflix's money.
