Does Anyone Remember Bitstamp.net 'Haircut' of 2015?

Back in early 2015, there was a bitstamp.net exchange hack that resulted in thousands of Bitcoin stolen from the exchange. As a result of that, Bitstamp.net did a 'Haircut' on user accounts, that means they removed some percentage of Bitcoin from users' accounts to cover the losses.

As far as I remember,  I had lost around 1.30 BTC to the haircut,  which were hardly worth around $350 (USD) at that time, so I did not pay much attention to it.

Now those removed/haircut bitcoin are worth more than $130000.

I recently asked Bitstamp.net support and they they asked for the transaction number of that Bitcoin removal, which I could not find in my account's transactions list.

Does anyone know how to track that haircut and claim it from the Bitstamp.net team?
