These people provided a service and got paid for it, and now to ask them to return it, is ridiculous.

You rich people all stick together. Prosser fraudulentlty used investor’s funds for personal gain. He used business checking account to pay for these services. Had he used his personal account vendors would have been free to keep funds. Word to wise demand personal checks for payment on services rendered for services OBVIOUSLY NOT business related.

I wonder if the daughter’s marriage didn’t work out, and now the Prossers realize that they spent a RIDICULOUS amount of money.

That is the dumbest thing I had ever heard in my life, and I’ve been alive for 90 years. People has rights and this is a vialation of their rights.

Keep the money Bruce. The legal system sucks. Lawyers suck too. Reform is needed.

Does this mean the corrupt off-duty cops with the Broward County Sheriff’s Department have to return the money they received from Scott Rothstein? Why doesn’t the trustee in that case try to “claw back” money from them to repay investors that lost money in that Ponzi Scheme?

This is standard bankruptcy law. What the lawyers are doing is called a preference action. When you are in or approaching bankruptcy, you are not allowed to pay some people money in preference of others. The reason for that is sound. The money in the estate should be equally or fairly distributed, in accordance with bankruptcy laws, among all creditors, not just those whom you choose to pay. Otherwise people could pay their friends or whoever they chose and stiff the rest. If you are repaid a debt from someone who just filed or is about to file bankruptcy, do not expect that you have gotten a good deal. Expect that the court may require the return of the money. So don’t spend it. However, just because the lawyers file this action does not mean the court automatically will require the return of the money. There is some leeway and allowance for certain types of expenditure. In short, no funny business here and not something being done by greedy lawyers. It is a common and justifiable legal step in such cases.
