The thing is that there was never any funds stored in these accounts. If you store a bitcoin then there isn't any value to it until you sell it.

The money that you spent to pay for the bitcoins exit the system during the purchase. Most likely paying the Ferrari of the seller.

My understanding is that there were bitcoins (and other crypto tokens) stored in the accounts that are not getting returned, valuable or not.
