It could cost you $37,500. That is the EPA fine for the intentional release of refrigerant. You have said that the refrigerant already leaked out. Just because it doesn't cool, doesn't mean it is a lack of refrigerant. A compressor or thermostat could be the issue. Have you checked the pressure or pulled the required 4" HG vacuum?
Overall, it sounds to me like you know very little about air conditioners and how to properly scrap them. I will say this once - leave the refrigerant containing items for those of us who are certified, have the proper equipment and know what we are doing.

Or, at the very least, have a certified individual come and pull the refrigerant out of it for you. I have a guy that comes and does it for me at no charge and, if I meet a certain threshold (lots of appliances), he will actually pay me a few bucks. If the machine is repairable, he will just buy it from me. He is in the repair business so it benefits both of us.
