While it is true that Dobson does not have the same fiscal obligation as, say, Lea Fastow in similar circumstances, as the quote notes, it could have been a significant hassle for prosecutors to seize those funds, and partly for the non-recognized "marriage." At the same time, if it could have been proved beyond reasonable doubt that Dodson was aware of what was going on with Chewco that provided him with that $9 million, he could have been very easily indicted as a co-conspirator. It's mostly the issue of prosecutors not being able to pursue Dodson as such that may have prompted abandoment of any pursuit of reclamation. If the government wanted that money that badly, they would find a way to get it somewhere within the law..
