I understand what you are saying, and I'm sorry you are in this situation. But I can also see that because you acted outside of the reach of the legal system then there is less chance of it being able to help you.
Sorry if I'm being heartless here but I'd also argue that the funds were not stolen, they were given in a system that provides almost no legal recourse.

"the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ... ordered Trendon Shavers to pay more than $40 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty of $150,000 related to [Bitcoin scam] BCS&T." https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/texas-man-sentenced-operating-bitcoin-ponzi-scheme https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/texas-man-sentenced-ope...
- SahAssar 6y agoRight, when the person is identifiable and within that jurisdiction. I'm saying that if I pay X bitcoin to someone on the internet for a service I have less change of recourse within the law if I don't get that service (in this case a back payment of x*2). If it was a normal digital/creditcard/whatever transaction it'd be easier to reverse and deal with.
