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.
Warning messages can be good advice for those who will make a transaction at a high cost. Although Ethereum wallet shows the transaction cost before making a transaction, you can check it below the receiver address. Who has huge money, don't care about the transaction cost then these things happen.
