Well punitive damages should arguably go directly to victims, or at least organizations designed to help and prevent victims of the type of injustice done. In most cases, that seems to be what happened.
But Congress, not the POTUS or DOJ, has the power of the purse. So this should have gone to a general fund that Congress oversees to distribute grants.
