I actually had crypto in an online Russian exchange that DHS seized and lost basically everything I had in it as a result.

Not sure what I am supposed to do about that.

If it's a significant sum you should speak to a lawyer, you may be able to claim those funds back from law enforcement. Liberty Reserve claims are seemingly being processed (after 7 years), I don't see why BTC-e would be treated very differently. If it's a very large amount, you could be able to negotiate a success-based fee where the lawyers will cost you nothing unless you get your money.

It will take a long time for you to see that money, but there's a good chance that it'll be worth even more by then.
