Did anyone work out what site that address belongs to?

It can't be coinbase as they do 1 to 2 and use native segwit. Binance merge a ton of transactions into one so it also can't be them. And bitmex do the same as binance...

Trying to come up with the reason why somebody would invent a story like this. Struggling to come to a conclusion as to why anybody would be so weird.

Because they then come back later and flat out beg for BTC
That or they come back later as another person who was also hacked, and try to fish for money to start a lawsuit.

It's like the loan listing for $5-10... They want something from it and if they can work out it works then they'll keep doing it every few months so enough people forgot.

Lmao I was fully expecting to click this and for the OP to literally say "haha, fooled you" or something similar. Obvious fabrication as already proven but anyone who stores more than a double-digit $ amount of Bitcoin on an online wallet like blockchain.info is begging to get hacked or scammed, you are opening yourself to additional vectors of attack by using an online wallet no matter how secure blockchain.info claims to be, all to save yourself the extra effort of having to download a wallet client.

In case anyone reading this is wondering how to actually safely store a large amount of Bitcoin, cold storage on a computer disconnected from the internet is always the way to go!
