What would you consider sufficient proof that I indeed controlled this balance?
I have no doubt that you can provide proof that you controlled the balance. You cannot, however, provide proof that you do not still control the balance. This crime is unprovable. Bitcoin's strength is also its weakness.
Indeed, the double edged sword of crypto-currency.
Sucks that it's a case of my word against whoever..I wish I could show that I do not have control of that address. Eventually I will post a screenshot as proof at the very least that he money was moved. I am working on few things to possibly found out who did it.
Look, this person just sent 22K to a different address. This person is trying to launder the BTC.
