Yeah that is some retarded shit.

Bitclub mining pool are trying to track the idiot down to return funds (supposedly) -

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.
