So he has to pay $750k after spending 6 months in jail!? Seriously, dude is a POS but what do they expect?? Even if he paid $500 a month like the judge asked him it would take 125 years to pay it off. Whats the point?

This is pretty typical. Judgments are entered in criminal and civil proceedings all the time where everyone knows the prevailing party won't be able to collect. The point is just to show that losing side was at fault, deter future conduct, etc. It's not really about the money. Hopefully, they didn't waste too much money getting to this result though - then I can understand the question, what is the point in throwing good money after bad?
