missing 1099 from defunct exchange — need guidance ASAP

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

missing 1099 from defunct exchange. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
