I sympathize with you and am sorry for your loss.

I don't think the federal government will be as effective as you might think. I would avoid going through the crypto asset recovery site so you can use that money to stack more.

The best thing you can do to get back at the scammers and the ineffective government that has failed you is to withhold your tax money whenever possible. Also vote for politicians that want to disassemble all the useless structures we have today and advocate for more eyes to be set on problems like these. Maybe a little vigilantism is the real solution.

If you decide to ignore this and proceed anyway, I wish you the best. I'm not trying to be a preachy ideologue, I just want to prevent you from losing more money.
