I don't understand, did bitcointalk recovery team took 4 years to give you back your account or you tried recovering it after 4 years and got it?
He was probably trying to say that he now has access to his account after 4 years of being locked out of it. The Bitcointalk account recovery team didn't even exist 4 years ago.
OP was hacked in December 2017, so that is closer to 3 years. But it's not so important.
I got sim jacked in 2017 of December and A lot of my accounts were compromised Sebdude420 being one of them.
