Here's the update of the said huge fees been accidentally sent out.
“Paxos overpaid the BTC network fee on Sept. 10, 2023. This only impacted Paxos corporate operations. Paxos clients and end users have not been affected and all customer funds are safe. This was due to a bug on a single transfer and it has been fixed. Paxos is in contact with the miner to recoup the funds.”Source:

bad on giving some $10k tip but i highly doubt that. lol
Thanks for sharing.
It makes sense now, given the huge number of transactions associated with that address, it was much more likely that it was a business rather than an individual sender.
So most likely they were using their own, buggy software to send transactions and calculate fees. Anyhow, it all looks like the story will reach a happy end.
