Just talked to a attorney and here's the scoop
Minimum for a federal lawsuit is $75k therefore one US BASED person that has lost at least 75k would need to be the main petitioner.
Additional petitioner's could be from any country, not just the US.
No attorney worth a shit would ever take on a case like this without a retainer of at least 25k US. The petition alone would be over 200 pages. This ain't small claims where you fill out a premade form. So there is extensive costs in preparing the motion itself. Discovery, ie even finding out what exactly is going on including where the money is, who the players really are cannot proceed without a pending lawsuit. In other words you can't go and subpeona Epassorte without first having a pending lawsuit.
Good news anyone can join in as a petitioner.
Bad news is a significant retainer would be needed to begin anything.
