LeBron's actions had seriously challenged Donnie's bottom line.
That was embezzling the money that should've belonged to Donnie, in addition, he had tainted the business environment of Atlantic City.
A healthy, vibrant Atlantic City was the only way to ensure a steady flow of wealth for Donnie, which is why, despite knowing that diluting industrial alcohol with water would make him more money, Donnie chose not to go down that route.
