Note that this is a private criminal prosecution, it is clear from wording in original. The victim could have relied on public prosecution, and would not have to hire and pay his own lawyer then. Those fee may be reimbruised, but only if someone is convicted. So either the victim is pretty sure he will obtain coviction and be able to collect, or he is desperate and does not trust public prosecution.
The final paragraph of the article is revealing: Binance unblocked the funds after the criminal complaint, so basically admitted they had no good reason to have blocked it. I could say you should not send a cent to such scammers, but I would be preaching to the choir very probably.
