My comment was adding context and presenting motive as to why they might be moving money around. The Sacklers were/are potentially facing fines against their personal wealth, not just the company's wealth.
So the potential exists for them to commit a crime should they face personal fines. It's not uncommon for people to hide assets during legal proceedings to reduce their liability.
There's a reason, when someone is under investigation, that they're not allowed to leave the country because it's easy to just not come back if they're charged. The same applies to money, it's easy to make money inaccessible which is why assets are often frozen during criminal probes.
