Because you threatened a lawsuit, you just shut down all avenues of support from Anet, as now they will forward you to their legal team, and you need to deal with them.
But it sounds like your beef is with the retailer. If you paid via creditcard, you can file a complaint with your bank (if it’s within a certain time frame). I recommend you speak with your bank ASAP and file a fraud report with that transaction. At the same time, speak with the retailer directly. IF you have done no wrong, you should be able to resolve this issue of a refund directly from the retailer, or through your bank refunding your money.
If you did it with cash, your only option would be to talk to the retailer and work with them.

^^^This.
Threatening to sue to company will get you nothing, they are very well protected legally from people who want to sue just because they got banned. This is a problem with the retailer.

As the Smooth Penguin and Carbine have pointed out, our discussions are at an end. Your issue is fraud. Someone used a fraudulent credit card to purchase the game. We were never paid for the code, and we are in no way obligated to allow you to play on account that has not been properly purchased. Nor will any court, in any country, require us to provide you with a free game.
We are not willing to release the account to you, even if you add a new legitimate code. That was made clear in the communications from Support.
As you were told, this matter is closed.
