I was browsing recent transactions and came across this one from a few hours ago. It caught my eye since it was 82,273 sat/vB, i.e., $24,663 
The high rate was not the only thing, it seemed to have had the fee bumped 6 times in about 5 minutes, it had started at about a 24,181 sat/vB, quite a bit lower but still much higher than necessary.
But it gets weirder, it is sending about .91 bitcoin from 2 addresses and sending to the SAME addresses.
Is there any logic to what was happening?

There is no logical reasoning for this instance but this isn't new, in the past there are much worse incidents like users paid 100 BTC as fee for moving 1 BTC but those are legitimate mistakes while this TX doesn't look like happened due to mistake cause I see there is another similar TX made after using high fee and spent to the same address.
