It would obviously cost AP money. How much? I'm not sure.
But after dishing out over a million to their customers involved in the scandal, you would think they wouldn't have a problem agreeing to this.

Absolute dished out over a million to their customers involved in the scandal, but wasn't that money all from the cheaters account? I was under the impression that the cheating accounts were unable to withdraw any, or atleast a large portion, of the money and so the players affected were compensated by the cheating account's money. If that is the case, then compensating the affected parties basically cost AP nothing.

That isn't quite accurate, they paid out more than was cheated. For example, in the 98 person POTRIPPER tournament they paid out $1K to every person in the event plus they bumped everyone up a spot. That is well more than the $30K that was cheated by POTRIPPER.

Also, they paid the observers whose info was leaked accidentally. More importantly, wasn't a bunch of the money dumped prior to all this. Did they actually recover that or was it withdrawn?
