If a merchant performs a fraudulent transaction, there are at least three ways for the customer to correct the transaction amount.
- Request a chargeback.
- Sue the merchant in the merchant's jurisdiction. Pay attention to who's paying the legal costs as those could be substantial.
- Settle for compensation out of court.
This customer chose method 3 and the merchant accepted. Since both parties agreed to some amount, I do not think that it is possible for the customer to seek additional compensation by using one of the other methods.
