Saw this in the news yesterday, and like it was stated there, the pool that took the fees have already set it aside giving the owner of the transaction 3 days to come forward and claim back the fees.

looks like the sender still hasn't reached out to f2pool yet, and its been almost 2 days. In another 27 hours, it will be 3 days and the fee will be distributed to the miners.
My opinion is that if the sender made a mistake, they would have surfaced by now to claim the money back, if they haven't done this is 45hrs (as of now), its unlikely they will before the end of the 3 days.
