Hi All - thanks for all the great feedback

Hopefully we can all relax and agree that this address belongs to me and only me, and yes I really want you to take them. On that subject, please note that my use of the word "stealing" was only colourful hyperbole. If you prefer a disclaimer, as I guess under different legal systems, then here it is. I guarantee I am the sole owner of the Bitcoin (BTC) recorded at the address stated and I am happy for anyone to move the it to any other address and thereby take full and permanent ownership of it. In fact I welcome it, I will consider it a success if achieved by any means necessary, mathematical or otherwise.
Lance V thanks for all your comments, I have edited the randomised key in the opening post, also to answer your point about the randomisation, the key has been heavily randomised. I did initially start moving blocks of 2 or more characters around before it dawned on me that that was not the wisest method. In the end I made a table, as eluded to earlier, and resorted an adjacent random number column multiple times.
So far my money quite literally is on NotaTether
I guess what this boils down to is how easy is it to rearrange the private key and successfully use it. If we agree it is near impossible, great I will leave them there until quantum computing or BTC dollar appreciation changes that. If someone takes them very easily, great but less so as I will need to rethink things. If we think it is hard but not worth the effort then that's fine too but can we quantify how hard that is, that would be useful information.
Thanks and good luck
