I can't see how you can pursue this for less than what you're owed, why spend 50k chasing 17k?
You'll lose anyway, although I wish you wouldn't.
1. All US monies have been spent or returned to clients who could really make trouble, if you haven't been paid out yet, that's not you. (Wallet funds)
2. Everything else is offshore, making it tricky to freeze.
3. Even if you could find it AND freeze it, they will counter sue to drain your resources and they will get it overturned when you can't prove your case.
4. You can't prove your case because I'm certain the terms and conditions of your account state that you don't have a leg to stand on.
5. Mallick isn't poor, so he can outlast you even with frozen funds. Those funds are making interest in escrow while he does it.
6. You won't pierce the corporate veil because you'll have to prove (legally) intent to defraud. I haven't seen any.
6a. Taking your deposit monies and financing a movie with it isn't fraud. Foolish if true, but not fraud. That's why it's called a deposit, not an escrow account.
6b. They probably aren't a US bank by definition anyhow, more like a payment service provider.
7. You may be ever so lucky to get right to the end and they'll BK on you, and you'll get a tiny percentage of nothing.
Anyhow, long and short of it is that you may prevail after spending years and much $$$, but you'll have a worthless judgement in your hands and little else. If I was your attorney, I'd be asking for a 50k retainer and I'd be coming back for more before discovery was up, let alone trial motions. I know, there's no justice.
