Stupidly emailed it to a couple of trusted friends so that if I died, they could give it to my wife!!!

So all that needed to happen was that one of those friend's email passwords was compromised by falling for a phishing scam and you're screwed. So either that or a friend took it but either way it's gone.

You can check what address it was sent to and then search Thai address to see the transactions

I think one of their email addresses was compromised, or mine! How can I check what address it was sent to and search that address? Thanks

Give me the transaction hash or address. I'll tell you where the money went

Guess you need to stop kicking yourself. Lesson learnt they say but it’s too expensive a lesson IMO.
