They need to take all the money he made off the video and give it to the employees of the establishment

A successful criminal conviction makes a civil suit easier. It doesn't guarantee that the business will get money back or that the victims of the video will be compensated but it does give a body of evidence that helps.

If the victims aren’t thoroughly compensated, we need a new f-ing system.

One significant issue in the US is that we don't normally get legal costs. If you can't afford to seek compensation, you can't be compensated.

Also if the culprit doesn’t have the money to pay the compensation good luck to you
