For reference, the $120 in backpay that Bill Gates was screaming about in 1980 is about the equivalent of $317.56 in 2010 dollars.

Well, he was screaming about getting nailed for shortchanging his workers and having it in his public records. I agree that it's pretty strange he'd run that risk with only $300 to gain in the first place.
