What is the ruling on disposing of the proceeds from the sale of computer RAM after the company's bankruptcy, given that its former agent continues to work in another field, and what if he is no longer an agent of the company?

The money must be returned to the company owner. If the agent still works for him, it is permissible to return it through the agent. If it is impossible to reach the owner of the money and you despair of delivering it to him, it can be spent on public welfare. Then, if the owner appears, it is obligatory to give it to him again, and the reward for the charity will be yours. The value of the memory sticks must be paid at the time they were seized, not necessarily the price at which they were sold.
