It really, really won't.
This isn't a situation where someone disagreed about needing to make good and then finally was convinced to do the right thing and all is forgiven.
Paying what he owes would just be the absolute bare minimum of action that would, for the first time in years, have Dave in compliance with the law. Given just how *much* of a bad guy Dave is, it's not even remotely going to fix his reputation- it's just going to keep him from defaulting on the judgement and ending up back in legal trouble. Or... more legal trouble. Doing the "right thing" when there is no other alternative except the eventual seizure of property when his Mommy finally dies and he can't hide assets anymore isn't commendable behavior.
The guy is an unreformed lying criminal. He doesn't get a cookie for being slightly less of a crooked scumbag when his back is up against the wall.
