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.

Maybe this is an evaluation for all of us. If you or someone sends a token or coin, never set Gwei manually. If you do the manual settings, then you must pay attention to them well. 1000000 Gwei is equivalent to 21 ETH. If someone has a balance of 21 ETH, then the balance will disappear.

Manual setting
