So if it's possible to extract the private key from the signature, every unspent transaction in the blockchain should've been stolen by now.
This is a little misleading as those stolen transactions could be stolen again by other people, and then again and again, making the Bitcoin network worthless in the process. It's not a "central party steals all the bitcoins for themselves" kind of thing.
"In the blockchain", I should've said "In the mempool", it'll make more sense.

Thanks for the mention.
The unedited post badly explained why Bitcoin wont work if his query is possible.
