Literally saw this happen at our Meetup this week. Guy that had been in Bitcoin since 2012 used a paper wallet service he had “always” used.
Sent 9 BTC and it was swept.
He never stayed current with how to secure his BTC. Last I heard, he is now trying to get the FBI involved.
I agree about sending slowly in tranches, but getting good at setting up new wallets is a skill everyone should develop. Otherwise you risk being left behind the cutting edge of Bitcoin security because it’s “Lindy” and you get got like Luke got got.
