“We hold that [28 U.S.C.] § 2041 does not limit the discretion of the district court to control the unclaimed portion of a class action judgment fund. Whether the money has been paid into the court or whether an alternative method of administering payment is used, the money held is within this court’s jurisdiction and subject to the court’s order ... The statutes referred to do not control when a court fashions a plan for distributing unclaimed funds.”
