Of course, it is very unpleasant to lose such a large amount of bitcoins. But I still think you're ignoring your safety. When it comes to your own money, you need to be more serious and a hundred times to recheck everything.
May I ask what you mean by ‘my safety’? If by safety, you’re referring to my Operational Security, I don’t know why I lapsed in inputting my BTC seeds. Minutes before I had sent ONLY my previous seeds to a trusted 3rd party to spilt the forks, I was attempting to split. Why I input my primary BTC seeds, I cannot fathom.
As for storage, my thought 2 weeks ago, was to split up the locations, but due to the needs to explore my two Ledgers and multiple previous wallets for tax transactions, I hadn’t gotten around to it. Bad excuse, I know. That amount of coinage wasn’t all on one Ledger for long.
I’m sickened by the fact that I thought I knew how to handle data securely. I knew not to install questionable software. My judgement lapsed there as I was lulled into only d/l ing Apple App Store software ONLY. I know better, yet misstepped there.
I’ve also been reevaluating storage of seeds and their OpSec. Bank safety deposit box? Could get confiscated. Home safe? Could get stolen. Behind picture frame? Could get burned down. With a Lawyer, Family Memeber? Meh... Bury them with a treasure map? Seems like a recklass decision. Having ones Bitcoin distributed far and wide seems best... suggestions are welcome.
I do believe I understand the Security lapses AND the nuances involved with what led to them. It sickens me.
