They got more than enough to do at least 2 trials for both of them. You have been scammed. I know this because I did a federal criminal computer crimes trial in defense of people’s rights. I got less than 25k to do so, but I managed to make it work. I know the world’s best trial firm for this (Tor Ekeland PLLC) and they absolutely would have done It for that amount of money. They never intended to go to trial. The whole thing was obviously a grift.
