First, sorry to hear that you got (allegedly) screwed by Gate.io. Couple of my friends are using Gate regularly and had no issues whatsoever so I had impression that they afre decent exchange, but selective scamming is also a popular thing among many "reputable" exchanges. They say for a reason "not your keys, not your money".

2nd, didn't you say in your old post from August 2021 that you got you coins back? Or that was only one third of the coins owed, that you mentioned in this thread?
