First off, Yes – I feel sheepish, yes had I spent more time researching it wouldnt of happened, Yes I realize that I am a moron for letting 70K slip out of my hands, so please dont remind me of that, I learned that lesson. The website was legit looking, I trusted it wouldnt come from googles top searches as a scam.
Secondly, I lost my BTC after importing a private key (after I had sent my funds to a new wallet) into a electrumbtcp,com (DO NOT GO HERE.) wallet download.
I know my funds are probably gone forever, I want to know how I can warn others, how I can report this to (whatever? country authorities) as a malicious website. I'm not looking for attention as much as I'm looking for possible help with bringing down this website.

For ref heres the wallet that stole my funds: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/1EgaeuKXBs1kJGx68JtqhxeDGLsAxkDfbx/
Can I get a upvote for awareness?
Edit: I have reported this to the French authorities (Though I am a USA resident I dont think anything will happen with it). I appreciate the kind words.
Edit 2: Any french law enforcement or lawyers that want to work pro-bono?
Edit 3: After searching "BTCP Wallet" the reddit post came up > https://i.imgur.com/7hT0nCL.png The user https://www.reddit.com/user/jhkansen1 posted about it that it "was already available", I realize this was my fault for not fact checking this.
Edit 4: User is spending the BTC now > https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/1EgaeuKXBs1kJGx68JtqhxeDGLsAxkDfbx/ 5.0 sent to address https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/17PJew5bTxscbFGpL6MFTmZMM95mvjNFJL/
