UPDATE: 9.9 BTC taken from glitching Ledger Live with pictures

Here's another update to my previous posts. Some background about me:

I bought a bunch of bitcoins way way back. And I only recently opened my bitcoins after ignoring it for years and letting it sleep. I am not familiar with crypto at all and I understand why some people are skeptical. This is my story. And why I am asking for help on the following:

How did that unauthorized transaction happen? Was I compromised? Is it Ledger? Do I really have access to the 9.9 BTC? Is it still under my control? Is there a way to retrieve it?

I have included pictures of the glitch in my screen in response to those doubting that it was user error or my imagination. I modified the pictures to hide the room I am in but I have the timestamps in my phone to prove it. I am finally including pictures. I held off sharing the photos but after ruling out all possibilities, the glitch is the only thing that no one has been able to explain (not their fault) as I feel I have not been describing the glitch accurately.

(Updated) Follow up posts:

April 2 (after learning about UTXOs). I shared a diagram as to how I understood UTXOs with fake bitcoin amounts and no transaction IDs. I initially did not want to share that I had 20.xx BTC in my Ledger in that post, but some Redditors who read my other posts and transactions, followed my transaction IDS, and deduced the amount of BTC I have correctly in one of the comments. So please stop saying I'm being scammy. What I am is confused and afraid. I am also learning as I go along the way.

RECAP

In my Ledger, there are four recorded transactions:

  1. 7fb642de8d4e4ef2b4982ea387998a8a7b209d1cfc91255257fbfbc34d0be2e0 (authorized)
  2. 340f66cc4c770dda485be641e6aaf186ea82003adf614ddf4636e3242ae549a1 (authorized)
  3. 473acbde21b24cbec4cda942c5499980f990f3e88a19a4f91e4ec7b227d09d73 (unauthorized)
  4. a426390bfa68d96cbe9f00a4a8e7a6cd5dc001846262d66da454be275d3f8f06 (authorized)

EDIT To save people time from checking each transaction and for those who keep saying I am making it up and wont bother even reading it in the blockexplorer, here is the summary of the inputs and outputs of each transaction.

Out of the four, I did not authorize transaction 473ac[], which occurred 4:20 PM here in my screenshot.

Last April 2, at 3:37PM, I sent a test amount via 7fb642de8d4e4ef2b4982ea387998a8a7b209d1cfc91255257fbfbc34d0be2e0. It took a while for me to receive the change 0.99993147 BTC.

At 3:59PM, this prompted me to send another test amount 340f66cc4c770dda485be641e6aaf186ea82003adf614ddf4636e3242ae549a1

At this point, my Ledger Live showed 18.89996147 BTC. I still have not received the change from 7fb[] or the app is still not showing the change.

I was examining the transaction ID and addresses to figure out what's going on. And then my Ledger Live screen started glitching.

4:01PM, after I have done the transaction 340f66cc4c770dda485be641e6aaf186ea82003adf614ddf4636e3242ae549a1 and sent out .1 BTC. The screen started showing I have MORE bitcoins than I know I own.

A few seconds later:

https://preview.redd.it/i3l7a846bssc1.png?1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=6383926fd16f46987d555107df7e1a8240d97c1b

4:16PM, I checked I I received bitcoins to explain the sudden increase, nothing.

https://preview.redd.it/nz25fzcabssc1.png?1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0b7e4ae51e38727503c00e09796f25f1e672293

  1. It showed that I have 37 BTC on hand or +19.5 BTC additional. I was so confused and alarmed. I checked the history, and it showed I had this added bitcoins all the way back.
  2. Then my screen started glitching again and the numbers in the balances started moving. It changed from 37 to 18 and then to 9.

At around 4:21 PM the glitch happens AGAIN. The timestamp of my picture showed 4:21PM but the glitch occurred a before that. The numbers started changing in my screen. I was looking at my balance in BTC and now it switched to dollars. Please note I have not changed the view to reflect dollars.

I was just looking at this area, wondering why I have added BTC. Picture below is not what I actually saw, just sent a screenshot to show you where my attention was at.

I also had to find the settings to change my view from dollar to BTC. As this was happening, at 4:20PM, in my Latest Operations, I noticed an unauthorized transaction going ahead with transaction ID

473acbde21b24cbec4cda942c5499980f990f3e88a19a4f91e4ec7b227d09d73

https://preview.redd.it/mq94hmatbssc1.png?1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f1b5352337b004b3d2d33a26d795f95396b889a

In my Ledger Live app, it did not show any "to" address. It only showed: Transaction ID and From. In the Latest Operations, it also did not show any transaction ID.

Please note I did not authorize this from my device. I am also not familiar with the address bc1q4v9kwtvsu7whdnk4qg3dgtdwwlmq2mkym0tvk9, which contains the 9.9 BTC.

At 4:34 PM, I initiated clearing out my wallet

a426390bfa68d96cbe9f00a4a8e7a6cd5dc001846262d66da454be275d3f8f06

Afterwards, I decided to clear the cache repeatedly. Then the 0.99993147 BTC change from 340f66[] appeared in my Ledger Live. This has been extracted from my wallet safely.

As of today, I am still trying to retrieve the 9.9 BTC from the unauth transaction 473acbde21b24cbec4cda942c5499980f990f3e88a19a4f91e4ec7b227d09d73

The photos prove what I went through. That screen glitch is what's not making me rest on this topic. If anyone experienced something similar, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I am still waiting for support to contact me and explain what went on.

EDIT:

How did that unauthorized transaction happen? Was I compromised? Is it Ledger? Do I really have access to the 9.9 BTC? Is it still under my control? Is there a way to retrieve it?
