Hi, Cristi,
Please note that the correct spelling of the last word in your sentence above is debt.

I don't like "was from" at all. resulted from and arose from are acceptable but I prefer proceeded from, which is used to refer to the source of funds. "result from" would be more usual for calculations, for example:
- The amount of $1M resulted from adding up $0.4M and $0.6M.
As regards "arise from," this verb is more usual to refer to situations or facts derived from others ("result from" can also be used with this meaning), and an amount of money is not a situation or a fact.
Do we use active or passive in the below sentence?
The funds were proceeded from the bribe.
The funds proceeded from the bribe.
