I was the one that was paid the settlement. The settlement was fully paid a little over a year ago. Some of the money was to pay bills since I was out of work for 1 year. Some was to used for personal things. I do not have any of the money left.
Ok, then you asked at the beginning of this threat whether you would be required to replace the money that was spent. The answer to that is no. If you paid bills within the 90 days before the filing of the petition those can be considered preference payments but in those situations the trustee goes after the business that got your money to return it to the bankrupt estate; the trustee does not come after you for it. In short this is not going to be something that will require you to cough up cash (which you likely do not have anyway).
