It seems that Admo wants to keep this out of the courts for a number of reasons. One, it's just a hassle to go through the courts. People have pointed out its a slower (and sometimes futile) system. Secondly, he doesn't want to completely ruin a young kid's reputation over what could be an mistake from a moment of panic, desperation, and degeneracy. If Admo filed charges of fraud/larceny against Steven -- even if there was no conviction -- it would be quite damaging to Steven's future.
Obviously Admo isn't going to let Steven's reputation stop him from eventually filing charges/lawsuits if Steven continues to dodge him and give him the runaround. However, there is nothing wrong with giving a guy some time to make good on his debts.
EDIT: This post isn't worded as well as I would have liked. I'm not trying to say I know Admo's intentions; more like I was postulating his reasons for not going to the courts right away.
