Money is made up, I doubt his actions actually cost them 65 million. If they did - so what? Taking that out his wages will never get them that amount of money back, ever. That is a ludicrously large amount that will never be reached, they just want to ruin a person's life.
I don't agree with the punishment one bit.
But it was never about getting their money back. Instead they just wanted a life-ruining sentence and large number to give to the media to scare people into not fucking with Nintendo.
Nintendo knows they'll never see even one million of that 65. Hell, they'll probably never even make enough to cover the lawyer fees. They don't care as they're playing the long game. They're trying to prevent the next Bowser before it happens. Which won't work, but they'll never understand why.
