I think it was due to the "experiment" in the previous post. I've watch YouTube videos where the YouTuber targets a scammer by acting like a noob and while the scammer has remote access the YouTuber turns the tables and deletes the scammer's files. Those YouTubers don't use their office or gaming computer though. They have a dummy computer with non-critical files devoted specifically for those interactions.
The lesson is probably when doing cryptocurrency experiments don't use your life savings wallet.
