If the enforcement agencies are able to shut down a scammer, they may be able to recover some of the money. So it's worth reporting this to the regulatory agencies. But I would assume the money is gone.
There was a previous post about this, closed because it was worded as a statement rather than a question and the author didn't want to bother restructuring is as a self-answered question.
Quoting it for those who don't have access:
Unique Options fx website claims a lot of things, honest, trustworthy,
transparent, and guaranteed results just to name a few. They claimed I
would receive my disbursement after paying a fee. However they add fee
after fee after more fees. They add fees like non-continuing fees,
verification fees, processing fees, COT fees, require to purchase a
2-year FX CERTIFICATE at $6,200. Once all of the fees were paid, they
claimed they have poor service and having connection issues. I highly
recommend no one does business with them.

Note that COT is an absolute red flag; no such fee exists except in scams.
