A bunch of wacky scripts were found by my current AV, forgot the names 'cause I just immediately let the AV settle it. I will now wipe my system and install a new one.

It's unfortunate that you have 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.

That's true you shouldn't format it without proper examination, you must know what really happened. Otherwise even with a new PC or reformatted PC you are still at risk as before, you still don't know which door you have left open for the hackers.

By the way reformatting is also not a final solution, it has been reported that there are malwares that can survive disk format and OS reinstalls

Moonbounce is a persistent malware that can survive drive formats and OS reinstalls

Keep your pc for your daily non essential work but don't use it for any crypto transactions.
