Crypto Tax Question — missing 1099 from defunct exchange

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

missing 1099 from defunct exchange. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
