You can easily sue Kraken without being in the US and without paying a steep price. Some lawyers write demand letters for $25 and represent you for $500.

Here's what you can try:

1. Find a lawyer located near Kraken's US office

2. Verify your identity with the lawyer

3. Pay the lawyer and let the lawyer deal with Kraken

The lawyer can represent you in court if Kraken decides to fight you, and you don't ever need to set foot in America. Many courts these days also hold zoom meetings.

Just know your case could drag out for years if you sue in a federal court. If you take it to small-claims, it might be much faster, but expect to recover at most ~$20K.
