The answer

You must return any amount exceeding the principal, because it has become clear that the man unlawfully seized people's money, and what he gave you was not a true profit. Your ignorance removes the sin, but it does not remove the obligation of guarantee. You must pay what you can now, and the rest remains a debt upon you.
