I think because not all original owners participated in the lawsuit. Big chunk of the total funds belonged to freedom, who wasn’t in the lawsuit. If I am not mistaken those funds were given to Steemit about a year ago, because nobody else claimed ownership. Sadly, they still got away with partial theft, and bittrex now can be considered their accomplice.

Yeah looks like JS still got a lot of Steem.

Not everyone has been included in the lawsuit, so a while ago Bittrex released a big chunk of STEEM to Justin Sun. What was contested remained in their control until now. So while 8.7M has been returned, Justin Sun still got around 15M Steem from the theft.
