According to the fruit daily online, after that 3 people moved forward others follow suits and crew used lots of time to ask people to get back to the rear due to unbalanced flight, but this 3 people refused... So... Maybe they can charge them for threatening flight safety...

Look, I can't speak to any relevant cultural differences, but I would think that if confronted with the choice of (a) pay $500 or (b) move, few passengers would try to propose an option (c). And it's certainly a "friendlier" option for the FAs to pursue.
