One fan had a particularly bad time. Per the Miami Herald, this person bought two beers and was charged $724 by the beer vendor. The paper explains the scam:
He grabbed the fan’s card and swiped it using a personal card reader, not the device the stadium provides to vendors, according to the police report. Shortly after the transaction was processed, the fan received an alert from his bank notifying him of the steep charge to his card. It also displayed the vendor’s name.

His whole life is ruined over this stupid BS. From here on out, he will have to register as a felon.
He'll never get a good job again. He'll be lucky to even get a janitorial gig.
This younger generation only thinks about whether they'll get away with something instead of thinking of the enormous consequences of NOT getting away with it.
A few years from now, he would not be willing to take TEN TIMES $724 FOR GOING THROUGH WHAT HE WILL NOW HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
Younger folks don't realize that the concept of deterrence is not making you pay "even Steven" for what you steal but to pay so much disproportionately more that it will discourage others from doing the same crime.
