Btw, can someone expalin to me the difference between the compressed and uncompressed keys?  Seems both are accepted by Bitcoin-QT (though uncompressed priv key cannot be used to access compress public or vice-versa).  Is one type more secure than the other?  In my example, the stfu! compressed version was not compromised, only the uncompressed version was (I channeled the BTC through both bitcoin addresses).  The speed (seconds) with which the funds were redirected make it clear it was a bot.
