Investment advisor is Brighton Jones. I think their CPAs probably only do returns for investment clients. Advising fee is much bigger than tax prep fee so tax prep is just a way to add tax expertise to investment group and able to generate their own accountability.
I guess if no gov jurisdiction will say "Ponzi". Bring civil or criminal action. You may have challenge to claim Ponzi. But of course that only matters at an audit so depending on your/CPA risk tolerance.
Don't know how limited theft loss tax code is now but its another avenue if your situation fits.
