There is something missing in this equation as that makes little sense as presented. If this is to be pursued you will likely need to retain a lawyer to sue civily, not criminally, for damages etc. You will need to accept that the expense of the lawsuit will likely exceed the financial damages as this will bemore matter of prinicple.
