I don't want to be an alarmist, but did you move your 1.6 BTC after you sent it to Electrum?? Because those coins have been moved... At least twice since the transaction you say you did to sweep them...

He probably moved them into an exchange for some reason, considering we got the updates when he was worried about the coins being sent to the other address and having them pending for a while (he probably mved them for something such as 2FA or to try to margin trade them for a profit or even invest them in an altcoin).
@OP, even though an exchange offers IP security and 2FA it's still not a great option as a place to store funds.

Your 1.6 btc are still safe.
You sure about that?
Nothing is ever 100% safe. Once something touches the internet it enters a critical state and has potential to be hacked.

Also, @jackg, can you please stop quoting entire posts and then just adding 1 or 2 sentences... It's really annoying and makes it difficult to follow the thread with massive walls of quoted text everywhere... Thanks in advance.
I'll try doing that on my PC. If I'm on my phone, I have only 512mb so loading chrome tends to crash it a few times. But i'll not that.
