Jan,
I am really sorry to hear this - this is the worst form of pirating, when your work is stolen to be sold by the pirate. Congratulations on finally shutting it down, although you should never have had to go through all of it. I would encourage you to continue to press Amazon for the proceeds of the sales, they are rightfully yours and it should be Amazon that has to deal with the fraud.
I've had proceeds stolen from software that I wrote as charitable shareware (all proceeds were going to charity). Very recently I had someone print checks with my account number and pass them off around town. I never cease to be amazed at the efforts these sleazebags go through to steal while they are too lazy to apply themselves in an honorable pursuit.
Again, sorry to hear of your situation. Many thanks for sharing your writings with Kindle readers, it is much appreciated.
Barry
