Yes the transaction did went successful, you can scan the address on block explorer 393q5VjNes1din4xx5z2kncaCoUuE42mx1.
Okay, I can see you were playing with vanity on mainnet. It isn't recommended to test stuff with real money. That's why testnet exists.

Sorry, No it wasn't a test, I have been using the legacy(1...) wallet address for a while now and I have not had any problem with it. My work needed a wallet address that starts with 3, so I googled about it and found out about the -F script option that gives a wallet address that starts with 3, I tried the command it gave me the wallet address, so I thought it would be as easy as importing private keys to get access to the wallet address which starts with 3, that is why I went ahead to give out the wallet address to my clients for funding.

Previously you said that $2,000 are stuck. From the transaction I can see that only $236 are stuck.

About this, I said earlier that it wasn't just one wallet, I generated lots of it which amounts over $2000, I only showed you that address to clarify your suggestion about the transaction being manipulated by a trojan.

This is also one of the affected wallets 393BvjN58Y3aUSE9JubAuGNSMXBNvdTVFb

When I had tried it, it only returned the legacy
I am sorry for bothering you, but when you generated the wallet address, did you add the -F script to the command? Like vanitygen -F script [pattern]?
If not, please try it, you will also get a P2SH(3...) address, with a legacy(1...) address and a single private key.
