Seems like another stolen reward.
The original TX: https://mempool.space/tx/65f5f2c358651ee12c983051423f9925e1339b8ef52b93e23943e26e80609827
Which was replaced by: https://mempool.space/tx/65f5f2c358651ee12c983051423f9925e1339b8ef52b93e23943e26e80609827 ($1000 in fees)
And that was replaced again by: https://mempool.space/tx/6102b9d3c9a8e40c16ef6eab8c5c8a6819ffac8fc0d22fc850c674863ae5e65c ($1120 in fees)

I had to sign up to this forum today just to to say WOW!

I was working on this little puzzle constantly and was bummed when I saw it was solved, and even more bummed when I saw someone stole it. Terrible.

Can someone explain how this even happened? I didn't know you could rbf to a completely different address. What am I missing?

It was explained here many times ... I can't believe someone was able to solve it but wasn't smart enough to let someone else steal it.
