I do agree with the others - get a check from AMEX to clear that side up, stick it in a HYSA, and sit until you figure out more. This seems like the best way to keep most sides happy until you learn more.
I don’t think the money will become OP’s funds. Not sure how long AA has legally to recover them, but rest assured they will, eventually. And then the OP has to refund the money from their HYSA or where ever they stuck the money if they followed the advice by people here. And what happens to their lost MRs? Will the interest earned on the HYSA make up for that?
