In this case money was given, but then also spent as would be routine for such a ministry. Clawbacks are a thing in bankruptcies (as I learned the hard way a few years ago) and when dealing with fraud like this. But there needs to be some reasonable limitation protecting "in good faith" recipients. For one thing, it tends to enrich the lawyers to a large degree, with the original victims only getting a fraction of the clawed back funds. And that doesn't sit right with me as regards the "in good faith" recipient. Lawyers are doing well enough already in this country.
In legal circles, “clawbacks” are referred to as “Voidable Transfers”. Every State has a (”Uniform Voidable Transfer Act”) UVTA statute. It is routinely used in bankruptcies and civil judgment collections. There are around 11 different factors courts will look at when deciding whether to void a transfer of personal or real property.
