I still don't get how the hackers managed to get his wallet password. Was he using Bitcoin Core or something else? It's pretty strange that they quickly managed to move funds, if the wallet was indeed encrypted, unless that .pps file he is talking about contained a keylogger or something? but he would have needed to type the password for them to get the log.
Did you type the password to your wallet after opening anything suspicious?

Thats such a stupid thing. Don't let anyone go on you're computer or you have to put
personal passwords and things in a secret place.
every information they know about you can be used to hack.

It`s sad to hear what happen to you. I am sorry.
This is good example what not to do and why. Anyone can be a victim as I think number of people has good amount of Bitcoins stored in their computer which is used for "daily" work with emails and accessign Internet.
I would recommend to use tezor or even paper wallet.

Let this be a lesson to everyone to keep your street smarts about you: why would somebody email you from a generic domain with a job offer without a good story? What is interactivebrokers.com anyway, does it have a homepage? haha... You downloaded and opened a lot of stuff through email, you kind of deserve it. At least you checked if the email was spoofed. Better luck next time.
first things first. You should be careful on the first place. Keep your computer secure and strong password for your PC and the wallet itself.
Do not share the password with your trusted friends also and not to write the password on the paper etc. Follow the basic rules of protection and you will see its almost impossible to hack.
We just get hacked and blame others without thinking our careless mistakes first.
That hacker knows you and maybe among your circle of friends online because hacker knows that you have that amount of BTC stashed somewhere. You may have been in his/their radar for quite sometime and he/they may have been following your online activities.
Yes its possible to happen,OP might have some friends that dont happy with what he have,and its make that hacker can knowing about personal device of OP,this is warn for me,for more warry on people around me.

Well firstly it's hard for me to feel bad for you since, you haven't even mentioned where or how you found this job and you claim they have your info yet fail to explain why ? Also you downloaded a file from a website without a domain, then you get a warning from your browser then you warned not to download the file but you still went ahead and did it anyway. I don't think anyone can help you since you not explaining anything at all.
I did not know how they know my personal information. and I did not get any warning when I download or open files.
I wonder why did you just download and open the file without concerning about hackers. I mean, you have high amount of BTC, didn't you try to keep them save? Make high security, don't download or open files you don't know exactly.
next time I hope you will be more careful. sorry for your loss.

What I don’t know is if the person is still replying to his messages, if he does, maybe try to explain to him, and know whether he might consider sending back his bitcoins, though, that might be impossible. But sometime may work out to recover...

since it was bitcoin that was stolen, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to get it back
sorry for your loss man
sorry for your loss man
E-mail scams is already exist? I thought that people now thinking before doing smth with accounts and in interntet. Learn on his mistake and don't let scammers scam you boys 
But back to the case
You say it is personal. Make sure to make a list of person you suspect. Gather all information in a document, so you won't forget. Make sure to update the doc everyday.
Sent the doc to the polic.
With this kind of money they will transfer it to a higher authority.
Best of luck mate.

Perhaps family? Little Shnookums? Always there, looking, peeking, scribbling something with crayons? Does she *really* have to make so many so-called "drawings"?
On the list she goes
Like other people said, this scammer is someone who knows you...or I think the guy stalked you and researched you and then pulled a social engineering job.
Think about all the people who know you have a lot of btc. And I mean A LOT! I have at most had 30, and I thought that was a lot! Think of any online friends and see if you can use trace the info- ip addresses, blockchain, and see if you can piece it together...
While it won't get you're btc back (it could, tho) you should consider filing a complaint with the feds.

This example of bad security practices should serve as a warning to everyone with stored Bitcoins on their computers to make the effort to transfer their stash to cold storage like a paper wallet or a dedicated hardware wallet and don't use their main wallet on their daily work device be it a desktop a laptop or a smartphone. I only have hot wallets with small amounts of Bitcoin on my mobile devices and at the end of the week I am transferring everything I don't need to my cold storage so if someone manages to breach my system the damage would be very small anyways.
is BTC made only for tech savvyy?

that's why BTC will never be "mainstream" but a very, very small niche. The normal persons will never use it because there is NO reason to do it. imagine that this thing would happen with your bank account. you will have the money back in matter of days; same with a debit/credit card. the normal people need the peace of the mind because not everybody is a a computer geek.
Cash will never be "mainstream". Someone steals your cash and you can't get it back. It's just too geeky. Normal people can't use it.
You do understand that most people wouldn't think of carrying around a quarter of a million dollars (in cash) in their pocket, correct?
That there are disruptive technologies such as banks and debit cards, which were invented specifically to avoid such dangerous idiocy?
Granny knows enough not to carry a quarter of a million dollars in her purse.
Junior wouldn't whip out a quarter of a million when he scores some cheap crank.
And yet [purportedly] tech savvy crypto enthusiasts keep *more* than a quarter of a million on the MacBook they use to
This is why I don’t like to respond to emails, or messages from unknown users or persons. Any message I receive, and it happens that I don’t know anything about the message, I simply delete them immediately, and also mark them as spam.
I don’t know why you will be receiving such strange codes, and you keep replying to the sender.
Yes I also do not reply to any person who provide me some offers in my emails, As I think at that time I have not shared my email with such a company or organization then why they contacted me, you also only respond to them from where you apply for job.I don’t know why you will be receiving such strange codes, and you keep replying to the sender.
my only question is " why the fuck do i need a job while I am sitting on almost 300K USD ?(425 BTC + 30,000 LTC) "
I mean...it's not a fortune in USA or Canada or Europe but anyway...you can open a small local biz, you can do many things but not getting a....fk job 
Dude don't you understand OP probably has an admiring job already. He may own his own business or work in hedge fund.
then why he wanted to apply for a ....job?
I think someone offer him a job without he applying. The job only asking 2 or 3 hours per week. It seems very undemanding and good pay? I don't know.
if it's too good to be true, then it probably is
. Normally, if you are sitting on 300K USD you would not be interested about an online offer. Jump to:
