If you have your public address, you should be able to see if the coin is thieved away.
If so, there are many a lawyer that would pro bono that I presume, especially with the price of bitcoin today.

They replaced the entire wallet. The new wallet has no transactions at all while mine should've had many many dozens. So there were no addresses to check. I certainly didn't memorize them back then.
As for stirring trouble again with a lawsuit: I definitely don't want saurons eye back upon me. I just can't handle that kind of stress. Even if I'm in the right and it'd be a life changing amount of money. Even posting about it here on HN makes my anxiety spike and me start sweating. Just typing this kind of thing in public is risky.
It takes a strong person to stand up to the FBI. I wish Linda Martin all the luck and support. Hopefully they don't use her fighting back as a reason to target her for more harassment.

If you obtained or spent the bitcoin with a company or person that you are still able to contact, you should be able to get an address.
"The process is the punishment" comes to mind. Not everyone is cut out to be a fighter and it's a shame that so many people end up needing to be one just to live their lives.
