in your case he seems to be mixing the coins which is making it practically impossible to trace.

How do you know that?
I am interested in combing through blockchain and would also like to be able to recognize when that happens.

So, what are the signs to look for?

it was mainly a(n educated) guess based on the facts that i had at hand Tongue

he said somebody stole his coins so that is the logical move afterwards specially from someone who used a Bech32 address and paid a huge fee to steal the coin (so the hacker is familiar with bitcoin).
then it was divided to multiple transactions sent out in different steps with regular fees and the amount seemed to be round with a "mixing fee" included", at least that was how it looked to me. and my search for the receiving addresses didn't bring up any result for an exchange which increased the likelihood of it being a mixing service but it might as well have been an exchange like ShapeShift which is practically mixing in a way.

Cold storage won't help if you download a malware version of electrum. The author of that malware already knows the secrets the wallet is going to use.

Can you go here

http://onlinemd5.com/

And upload your Electrum exe file and tell us what your MD5 hash is?

Checksum's don't add up, got my answer just as I thought... Thank you.

Someone on another forum told me I can hire someone to trace the coins, any truth to this?

I am so sorry for your loss but I would appreciate if you can tell us specifically where you got it all wrong so that others can learn from your mistake. I can't imagine having such an amount and then losing it. In trying to hire someone to help you trace your funds, please be more careful as well because there are people also on the look out to still get the little you are trying to manage out there and would see this as an opportunity for someone who is desperate.

yes, there are groups doing what is known as "blockchain analysis". for example https://chainalysis.com/ who are doing something like that. and they also have a free stripped down service called https://www.walletexplorer.com/

but the thing is, you can't really find them specially if the thief is good. in your case he seems to be mixing the coins which is making it practically impossible to trace.

Was your wallet password protected? If so, them the exploit has nothing to do with that.

You probably:

a. Had a malware in your computer.
b. Downloaded a infected version of Electrum in a phising website. (The only official website Electrum has is electrum.org)
