Mario didn't get to be where he is in life with his wealth by being a riverboat gambler, which would have been the case here if his interest had been any more that that of arb and writing calls and puts. When someones sees what they deem to be easy "lunch money," which was/is the case here, the chances are overwhelming that they are going to grab it no matter how much money they have-it adds up after a while. An appropriate comparison would be a a filthy rich baseball player who signed a say a $180 million contract doing a tv commercial for relative pennies-why-because it is easy money!
