Answer: The Official Receiver in a bankruptcy does have the authority to reverse these transactions, as to if they would do this, I cannot say. They may if you used the funds to pay off a debt or creditor, preferring them over another creditor. It can also depend on the amount, if it was a small amount and you can document what it was used for, it may be OK.
