Please, if you're reading this and you have the actual 340 BTC wallet, contact me (pacossii105@gmail.com), because the three of us can be millionaires.

is this the address? 1JqPFnGPhHhy54zJKmC1MPiczzgFjCmzE9

The wallet I have, has the correct public key which resolves to the address and an encrypted private key but I am sure the wallet is fake..
The interesting thing is the real wallet associated with 1JqPFnGPhHhy54zJKmC1MPiczzgFjCmzE9 has not sent any coins so the public key has not been transmitted.
How did the faker get the public key?

at the very beginning, we need someone's public key, not his address
then we can send 340 to him?
check the tx info, you will find something.
