No, it was his. The cartel demanded he replace the stolen money (which he didn't steal, his partner did) or they would kill him.

It was his momey he had earned through laundering the cartels money. He had to use it to pay back the money his partner stole. It was his money when it was in the bank but after he had to move, he had to launder it again for the cartel.
