I don't think he'll be able to get that money back, because he just doesn't have it, and it's unrealistic to earn that kind of money working in a regular job.

This guy clearly has a gambling addiction since he was able to lose so much money. So it makes no sense to expect him to ever repay the money. When he gets tired of living in debt, he will most likely try to disappear from the country to avoid paying his debts. In my opinion, the guy is not guilty of anything and ended up in this situation because of an error in the transfer of funds.
