I want to know if you can find more people companies that have experienced a similar thing with the FDA.
Is there a reddit or discussion forum where people discuss and commiserate about FDA threats like this one? Can you find people there, and then verify that they / their experiences are real?
As a naive outsider, it seems to me like all of the specific actions you suggest would be stronger and more compelling if you can muster a legitimate claim that this is a pattern of behavior and not just a one-off. An article with one source making an accusations is more than 3x less credible than an article with 3 sources making the same accusation, for instance.
And if this is just a one-off, then it seems a lot less concerning, and taking action seems much less pressing. (Though it seems much easier to verify that this is a pattern, by finding other people in a similar situation to yours, than to verify that it isn’t, since there are incentives to be quiet about this sort of thing).

Is this the case? Often the reaction to the ‘first transgression’ will determine whether or not to do future ones—if people let it slide, then probably they don’t care that much, whereas if they react strongly, it’s important to repent and not do again.
And when there are patterns of behavior, especially in cases with significant power dynamics, it seems unlikely that you’d be able to collect such stories (in a usable way) without there being a prominent example of someone who shared their story and it went well for them.
