I am pretty much this was because of fat fingers, but how an earth there's no security measures for this kind of thing?
It's 2020 already and after seeing this kind of mistakes, i am pretty sure that ETH adoption is further away. Just one warning message informing about the possible huge mistake could have saved millions for this guy.
shit happens i guess... It isn't the first time tough... For example:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/258478e8b7a3b78301661e78b4f93a792af878b545442498065ab272eaacf035(there are many, many more... And this one is defenately not the biggest screw-up)
I guess it's the wallet's task to check if a fee isn't outrageous, but i have no idear which popular wallets actually do a quick feecheck before broadcasting a transaction
This feature would save a lot of funds for those people.
I guess mass adoption will only happen when most wallets will think over most basic stuff like this
