I think he may have a 'wallets' folder, in this case he only need to copy it to the right place and upgrade to 0.9.3c then export from the menu. There may be a tutorial of doing this somewhere.
If that is the case, he may also have the auto backup files in the ".backups/default" folder ..
let's see ..

What are the other files' names?
node_config.jason
So all you've got is a
config.json and a
node_config.json?

Those do NOT contain your wallet and never did. Have you made a backup from the main menu? Or do you happen to have a "brainkey"?

I think I have, when i import the wallet to backup, the message is :the password is wrong, not say the the key or something is not right!
I have a backup folder which include many files.i donot know which one is you need.could you tell me more?
I assume the names of those files include some numbers that indicate the DATE and TIME of its creation ..
Take the most recent json file and try to import with your passphrase .. if its not working take the second most recent one and try again .. and so forth

yes, I have, when i import the key, there is a notice said: wrong password,and give me this website to get support!

Have you tried importing these into the old (0.9.3c) BTS client? Older backups are not compatible with BTS-2.0.

Do you think he sent to an exchange? they would meed to monitor the chain for your coins which through a mixer may become impossible. Are the coins on one address right now?
I really donot know.i am not a expert of IT or bitcoin things...

Sad to here ..!

TBH .. i don't get why, if you're not an BTC or IT expert, you are dealing with these large amounts…

Config.json is NOT a backup file. Do you have other files from bitshares?

Yes with syscoin we lost 850 btc to a scammer who did ipo escrow.. We used the tool to sue him and there is a case going on in the uk to recover the coins, although he was pretty stupid and didnt mix.
