It's unfortunate that you have had to resort to wiping your system clean. Conducting a comprehensive forensic examination of your system would be extremely beneficial in identifying the cause of this issue. Not only could this information assist you in recovering your funds, but it could also serve as an informative resource for other members of the community to avoid similar incidents in the future.
