F2Pool have said they will hold the funds for three days and return them to the rightful owner if claimed: https://nitter.cz/satofishi/status/1701042302238724512#m



ok now some highlights
F2pool said it would refund claimant.. yet easiet trick in the book is send funds back to the key of UTXO that spent it
[spoiler: f2pool didnt do the obvious refund trick]

instead f2pool comingled the fee overspend with its other coin rewards

[spoiler: it didnt separate the fuds for easy management but heaped it together with normal cold/hotwallets funds]

so paxos admits to failure thus making claim. yet f2pool has not made any 19btc payout to any entity at the 3day deadline
the most f2pool paid outwardly is ~17btc, but this ~17btc is a 14% take it always takes when distributing funds in ~127btc lumps of payouts.
