Numbers two should apply for me, this is because from the time of recovery till date, some funds would have been spent on the process and even the government who has held the recovered funds all this years would probably want to charge for thar, i don't know whatever legal term will be used for that but i think they will have a charge for that, then cost of litigation and investigation, all may be charged on this sum, after which they could look into the sum invested by each victim and see how to spread the expenses across every ones of their balance for the remitting and then the balance could be returned to them of which they will still be in a very good and tangible profit as compared to the invested sum. Definitely the money will be taxed by the government and that too could bee another means of the government getting some funds out of the whole sum.
