More mistakes?
Two more transfers have occurred with significantly large fees, raising questions as to whether the sender confused the transfer amount and fee or an attempt to nefariously transfer money is occurring. In the first transaction yesterday, a user sent 350 ETH ($82,000) with a transaction fee of $2.5 million. Late yesterday a second ETH transfer occurred with someone paying $550,000 to send 3,221 ETH ($750,000).
