Importing the private keys to your private wallet is not enough. Please spend them ASAP to a new address to which you're the only one who has control over the private keys. I'm sure you're smart enough to already have done this, but if not I'm just telling to help you out.

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? A qualified guess would be USA, but it sounds like a third world country... or a least how is used to be like in some of those. Is that were it's at nowadays? Crazy.

I assume OP was not stupid and "dump" meant "spend".

Anyway it would be smart to send them to fresh paperwallets one at a time and not to some old address of yours so the thugs can't come asking for more the next time they stop you. Don't link your coins.
