Has anyone approached any authorities at all?
I'm wondering about this as well. I just lost 125$ so it's not worth any effort, but how can
you treat it as a shut case if you lost 1k or more? I don't get that..
It's very likely that some of the people that lost much did approach the authorities. But those things move slowly and even if you get some results announcing them publicly s not the most responsible thing to do.
But it's likely that most cases were similar to you, small losses etc.
