Your counsell wil be unable to do shit to any of them. And there is no Federal prosecutor that will even bother to investigate this small potatoes crap.

Best advice is to go fishing more and use the proceeds to replace the lost $916K that way. Wasting MORE munny having lawyers waste their billables in a pointless exercise will only add more injury to the $916K loss.
