To be honest, it's the guy's fault that did this huge mistake (how the fuck do you not realize you are sending that insane amount for a fee?) I mean unless he was drunk, I have no idea how I would ever do this.
Bitcoin is about self-responsibility, so if you can't eve properly send a fee, that's your fault and the miners aren't forced to give this guy's money back, even tho it would be nice.


Yeah but in this case (like many others) the pool/site wants to give it back to the real owner. He/they should only prove the ownership of the input address '1QgTYzMYqStzZBQx8gguYaJQMjFRbagbh'.

no matter how this happened, human error or not.
but bitcoin dev team has some serious updating to do, avoiding this happening never again.
