Ummmm ... except the real creditor who/which wants their $8 million back are the financiers who were defrauded by Shkrelia and the company and induced with lies to wire that $8 million to the company.
So the BK judge ain't gonna do squat in releasing those funds until that claim (actually a complaint) is first dealt with by the court.
All creditor claims are subordinated to this pending complaint, and so are the wishes of all creditors other than the $8M financier(s) (the $8M financier(s) is/are nott technically creditors, they are contract-tort claimant(s)).
