Extremely sad to hear what happened with you. Angry

But can you or some one else please explain how exactly this happened??

So how exactly did this happen?

I believe the point of compromise happened at one of two places.

1. Using the Ledger to connect to the one of the two BTCP/BTCD Electrum Wallets. The BTCP has an app on the Ledger. The BTCD does not.

2. I dont recall doing this for my BTC seeds but I might have input them in my hand into the BTCP/BTCD wallets.
That would mean a keylogger has compromised my setup. Im not normally adventurous in downloading foreign software, generally, aside from rogue Bitcoin wallets (heh...).

So Im not blaming the BTCP or BTCD Electrum wallets outright as it could have been me inputting my BTC seeds. I dont recall doing that with my BTC seeds but Indo remember doing that with the old seeds thats had the BTC already moved.

If anyone is familiar with the BTCP Electrum wallet off Github, thats where I got it. Ill have to confirm but I believe I also got the BTCD from there. Im sorry if this is unclear. My head is spinning and Im not sure on where I was compromised.

It is a really devastating thread and I have read it with sinking heart. I too was extracting BCH and BTG from the BTC wallets and just thinking how easy it is to fall a victim if one is not very very cautious and thinking and rethinking what one does before actually doing it, well, it makes me sick.

Probably you will not retrieve those founds and they are lost for you, but I hope that story will be a cold shower for some fork enthusiasts and will save somebody from doing those mistakes again. Thanks for sharing.
