I will attempt to recover my USD balance, and if the judge wants to pay me a fraction of my USD balance but also compensate me a fraction of my BTC balance, I suppose I would take that deal.

Well, that's the thing about court, it's not really a "deal" that you take or don't take - the judge does what s/he does, and if you can explain why it was legally incorrect you can ask an appellate court to change the ruling. If your exposure is a few thousand USD or less, there's really no economic sense in fighting, it will cost more to fight than it would to just take your losses and move on.

By "take that deal," I meant I would accept that payment and not reject it on moral grounds. My only choices would be to accept whatever the judge wants to pay out to me or to reject it. I can always refuse to take money. If the court decides I should be paid out in USD more than my USD balance at Bitfloor, I might try to refuse or return the part of the settlement that is above and beyond my USD balance, on the basis that I will not knowingly accept stolen property (and any USD settlement beyond my USD balance would necessarily have been stolen from other users who had predominantly USD balances at Bitfloor).
