One final post, then I'm just going to look forward and leave this mess behind.  Some points.

1. I'm an idiot.  I accept that. I hope sharing this experience can help others avoid the same mistakes that I made.

2. I can't figure out the message signing with the segwit address.  Wish that worked with the Bitcoin Core GUI wallet. Tried Electrum, but had no luck.  Not something I need to waste time with at this point.  If there is a mod or a trusted member of the forum willing, I'd be fine with sending some sats to them from my wallet. Send me a private message.  As others have said, that still doesn't prove anything, so whatever.

3. I joined this forum about 10 years ago.  I don't visit very often these days.  Merit points or whatever mean nothing to me.  Give me negative merits, just does not matter.

4. I have reported this theft to my local police as well as filed a cyber incident report with my state and the FBI.  I don't expect anything from that outside of being a statistical data point.

5. I know exactly where this malware came from that got us.  Website, file name, time, etc.

6. I contacted one of those recover your Bitcoin bounty hunters, but it's a scam.  I figured as much, but wanted to hear what they were going to say. The BS they were spouting was kind of funny.
 
7. I still love Bitcoin, my wife and my life. While this really sucks, it's not the end of the world for us.

Peace and love, yours truly, soulcity
