You can set up a payment plan with the IRS.  Go to this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/payments/online-payment-agreement-application

Losing the money due to fraud has no effect on the taxability of the 401(k) distribution.  The distribution and the subsequent loss of the money are separate events.
