Thanks everyone. As much as it pains me, I will walk away from this and put it down to a very expensive experience.

What about bitaddress.org as a paper wallet generator. This time, of course, I will generate the wallet offline. Is this still asking for trouble or should I stick to hardware like ledger?

Yes, Bitaddress is good, but make sure to download the source code and use it offline if you're going to go with it: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org

Stay aware of any other generators. In addition to the one you lost the funds to, BitcoinPaperGenerator is also a known scam:
