Not to split hairs or anything... but the fund was set up expressly for legal defense... and living expenses. Perhaps in their minds it was “theirs”... that's why they were moving it around. She had the correct answer herself...
It also looks like the original fund was set up illegally... a violation of Florida Statute 496.413... a felony of the third degree.
The question that they may have been wrestling with was whether use of the money for bailbond fell under the category of "legal defense". For the court to take the Paypal account into consideration for bailbond would have precluded what the account was set up for.
Perhaps in their minds it was “theirs”... that's why they were moving it around.
Perhaps in their minds they also felt responsible to the donors for it and did not feel that using it for bailbond would be in keeping with what was promised on the website.

Yeh -- "I don't know".

I don't think that any of the donors to that fund give a rats behind about that statute. They wanted it handled with due diligence and it was by GZ and Shellie. Besides they are only in violation if they don't have a trustee and who is to say that GZ's brother was not the trustee??? That was what she indicated to the judge in her answers but he chose to not pursue it further. Perhaps he just didn't want to know.
