Not really since they still get to keep all the profit they made off the stolen goods.


That's exactly what's not happening in this case.


Actually, I think it is. It sounds like they're clawing back the investment profit, but it is likely those profits were invested in something else which also earned a profit. That additional profit is yours to keep as far as I can tell.


Alternatively, they could have spent the original profit or lost it on another investment... In other words the end result was similar to a loan. I'm curious whether the claw-back included a risk-free interest rate.


So they get to keep the profit they made off the profit but but not the profit itself?
