Too bad he didn’t steal 5.6 million dollars from 1,000 people. Then it would just be a civil case that takes 10+ years to litigate.

It's not about how much you steal, it's about how expensive are the lawyers you can afford.

5.6 million dollars buys a lot more lawyers than a case of candy

If you rob a bank for $5.6m, and get caught, I'm pretty sure won't be allowed to use that money to pay a lawyer. Wynn Resorts needed to have enough funds for legal expenses even without the money in dispute.
