My Poloniex account was hacked back in 2017 and 7 btc were stolen. I did not have 2FA at that time and the hacker got to my account and traded those coins away.

However, 2 Russians were Indicted and US law enforcement seized some cash and currencies. From news source "Millions of dollars in virtual currency and dollars have since been seized by US authorities."

I am still chasing poloniex and they keep telling me that my account was compromised and they are still investigating to see if my funds can be recovered. But its been more than 3 years now.

My question is, can I take Poloniex to court? how can i get my funds back from US law enforcement given they have seized some funds.

PS. please dont comment "why did you not have 2FA?"

The question is, what should be my next steps?

I have a bad experience in this exchange as well I think the exchange was a complete scam I have an issue in 2FA back in 2019 in this exchange because I lost my phone at that time but going to the support was a nightmare and almost like trying to discourage you like it is already a lost account. The exchange was actually great back in 2017 but it was already pretty bad this day I access one of my accounts in the exchange because the bitcoin price is around 40k$ so I check it out but everything just disappears in my exchange wallet even though I can still see my transactions history in the exchanges but there was no history of withdrawal but the funds are gone.
