I'm certainly not new to Bitcoin, but I'm new to this forum.

I'm glad to notify that the bank has released the funds back to me, and my account is fully unlocked.

Excellent!

People buy BTC with hacked PayPal accounts and it is much worse. It is PayPal's standard operating procedure to freeze all accounts involved for months. If it was a hacked account they take the money back directly from your PayPal account and give it back to the person with the hacked account - you are out the BTC and there is nothing you can do about it.

If you have taken the money out of your PayPal account they take the money anyway and give you a negative balance. You have to put the money back or your PayPal acount is stuck with a negative balance.

So, be thankful you were not using PayPal.
