The short answer is yes.
The trustee can use the Minnesota fraudulent transfer act to reclaim that money. This law has certain requirements, however, which are not always easy to satisfy.
Both Mr. A and Mr. B should consult with a lawyer right away. There may be defenses against the trustee involving facts not included in your question.
