Make sure you send a message to  cyrus  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147) as well as posting it here, he's more likely to see it and respond quicker that way. It'll probably take a while due to him being backlogged judging by the meta these days, so message periodically if you haven't heard anything.

Verified via Bitcoin core version 5.7.1.

Cheers I have sent it to him, but I know he gets a lot of spam and often helps people out here.

It may take a few months or the evidence provided wasn't sufficient or wasn't correct, just double check what you've sent and send it once every two weeks. Judging by how Meta has been filled with these requests lately though, I would imagine that a lot of people are in the queue ahead of you.

I've been in the queue for over 6 months now...although I did only send the one PM, so perhaps it got missed.

Verified message, banned and neg tagged the account. Now it's up to the admins to recover it.

The general advise is to send one per week/fortnight just in case they are getting missed. I think cyrus also checks on the account and not just the signature to assure that it is indeed hacked/stolen so it's not as simple as just verifying the signature and then unbanning.
