It should be converted and work as expected

We see an API error

Able to reliably reproduce - there are a couple of issues here one is the IOU seems to not be getting shared with the participant, and the other is the owner is not switching correctly

@thienlnam can you give an ETA on this?

Should have something into review by EOD
