Track? You mean neither the sender nor the recipient of the ~$140k are aware of the mistake?
this makes you wonder how mistakes like this happen...
what client were they using?
dosnt core warn you if you try and send a fee that is 100,000times higher then the amount you are sending?
you'd think most wallets have implemented some common sense checks before sending.
