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'.

Lol no, the guy who started the "Bitclub is trying to return the coin" story was trolling.
Everyone instantly believed him because desperate for news that doesn't involve bitcoiners robbing each other.

Wrong. That's what the Coindesk article said. Now, Bitclub can go back on their word, but that will have significant negative repercussions on their business if they are recognized as untrustworthy.

Link to Bitclub official statement plz?

i think this will do the job:

Dear Sir,

we are currently waiting for someone to reach out to us and claim their mistake so that we can verify them and send their bitcoin back, but so far as of this posting nobody has been able to verify it.
