The FBI was given all the information and we did a telephone interview and
when I told them there was no bank fraud - they were in our accounts but did
not succeed in getting any money. At this point they were not interested as
no theft was committed.

analysis.
The thing that really gets you is that they are harassing you with you
equipment and your $$ you spend on it.
My suggestion is to unplug China from the Internet and a number of other
countries until they get their house in order.
