   First I couldnt believe, then I have read all the comments, and I still cant believe in this fees. This must be some kind of manipulation like Cjmols mentioned on the beginning of this discussion.


well there's this reddit post but that's it. no refund and no owner requesting it (in public, at least.).

I wasn't even around at that time. can't find discussion about it with the owner posting in it and requesting a refund, but the address the fee was returned to wasn't a part of that tx so I think they did request it.
interesting thing is that people also suggested that it was a money laundering.

   I`m glad that some miners are good people, and if they can return this accidental fees its good explanation for couple cases, but what is with other similar cases? Can they manipulate system in that way? If they can that is very serious matter. I didnt see any logical answer why fees are so high for this people.

   Can this happen to anyone? I mean is there some wallet where this is impossible to happen?
