Thank you Livecoin for repaying 50% of the money on my account (9960 USDT). It was a pleasant surprise when you contacted me.

I know that most of you probably won't believe this (I do understand the skepticism), but now I actually received the second half. In total I got 19,920 USDT (about 16,875 EUR) and I had the following assets in my account when they shut down:

I summed this up a couple of days ago and figured this was worth about 26,281 EUR at that day's exchange rates. So I got about 64,2% back of what the coins would be worth today.
Livecoin said they used the exchange rate to USDT at a certain date (I don't remember which date). I did not calculate the worth in Euro of my assets at that date (and prices have risen since December 2020) nor did I correct the values for the change in USDT<->EUR-exchange rate from then to now as it doesn't really make a difference to me. I am glad that I got back as much as I did and considering I probably did not have any legal way to make them pay, I'm more or less pleased with the outcome.
My assets in the list above might also be skewed as I think the exchange rates when crazy when they got hacked. Maybe my trading program made an unfair profit with that and they used a snapshot from a different time to calculate the amount they reimbursed.
It's definitely not perfect, but it could have been a lot worse.
