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.
I don't think this is a mistake of the sender. I think this is a test of Ethereum's fee that the team wants to perform. No one would transfer a few hundred dollars and accept such a large fee. Do not FUD when you are still not sure what is happening and what is the cause.
