Sent BTC post fork with private key. Now BCH/BTG unobtainable?

[Oirman]

Hey there crypto-peeps,

After 8 months of trying to get Armory to transfer funds, I've used a private key instead to transfer my BTC post fork.

Could transferring the funds with a key instead of sending to a wallet somehow removed the key's capacity to broadcast BCH/BTG?  I've tried all my keys and they are coming up empty 

Any help much appreciated guys


Thanks

I think you're mixing keys and addresses here. Let me clear this:
You swept the private key into another wallet
The new wallet isn't showing your BCH/BTG balance, just your BTC.
You think that your coins are lost due to sweeping.

Is that correct?

Moving a private key to a new wallet doesn't influence the balance and it can't remove "its capacity". Your coins are probably still there. Could you post one of the addresses that held BTC at the time of the forks?

Great. Where did the problem lie? My guess would be that you were checking the balances on a BTC chain.
