Billions of dollars. It's extremely unlikely that a (unprofitable) hedge fund can turn around its business and make that money back in a short time frame. Not impossible, but very unlikely. It must've been obvious to the insiders that the probability they'll get away with this is very low. Hard to believe they'd gamble their lives on that small chance. I'm wondering how exactly Alameda managed to be so unprofitable. They literally had the easiest trading job in the world: Market make on their own exchange while seeing all order flow and being able to front-run anyone they want.
