I don't even think the attackers care about deleting the original content, it doesn't serve them in any way, except maybe if they can extort extra money from the creator by keeping it hostage? Let's not give them ideas.

Sounds like Google has more issues than just account login/password compromises.
edit: Looks like there's some extra functions for "Brand Accounts" : https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3056283
which says: "You can move your channel and its videos over from one Brand Account to another, as long as they’re associated with the same Google Account."
But I don't get how this crypto account got to be on the same Google Account, but maybe you can attach as many Brands as you like to a Google Account?
