This reminds me of when LoL migrated accounts when I wasn't playing. Somehow it matched me up to a lvl 5 OCE account I made years ago to play a couple of games with the friend that had the same name and the original account with lots of rare skins and which I spent a lot on over the years is just gone. I filed support tickets years ago and never got any response at all. Nothing, just a black hole.

I completely gave up on Riot after that. I'm not playing any of their games now and I don't see myself going back to them, which is kinda sad, because I met my wife in LoL so there were some fond memories.

So for all the people out there who design these account transitions, please remember, you can permanently lose customers from stuff like this. Oh, I probably have a Mojang account somewhere, too, but I lost it ages ago and I won't go back there, either, at this point.
