I transferred bchBCH to an electrumElectrum wallet address and haven't ever received it because electrumElectrum uses only btcBTC. As I have been trying to recover it, I looked up the transaction on explorer.bitcoin.com and it was input but has also been output 5 times and the balance shows 0. So it would appear that someone has access. How is that possible? Shouldn't it be secure? Do I have any sort of recourse?
