Just because you pay a fine doesn't necessarily mean that you did anything wrong. Based on everything I read about this matter, the home owner seems to have been under the impression that he obtained the necessary and required permits to remodel his home. Something changed after it was built. From what I can read between the lines, he fought this for a long, long time, and settled the matter by paying a fine and other "restitution" just to be done with the matter. This happens every day. Litigation is expensive, and sometimes you have to pay damages to get out of it.
