I've seen this before and it's almost certainly developer/transaction construction error. One of the things I make sure to teach about Bitcoin transactions is that you have to send the change back to yourself or it ends up as a fee (tx outputs have only two states, spent and unspent). I suspect that's what happened here. That person made a tx without a change output.
It's not uncommon and has happened quite a few times in Bitcoin history.
if a virus is successful at changing the transaction like that, it would make more sense to change the input address (to the hacker) instead of leaving the funds as fee to a random miner.. probably a buggy low-level script and some dev is really f***ed up right now..
Is about using their (fiat maxis) language. They want you to keep thinking in fiat, to keep you trapped. Get used to use only sats and bitcoins. Forget about fiat. You will thank me later.
I have no more than 3 digits poop Fiat in my bank, and 2 digits in cash. Only the necessary to pay for daily things and stuff. 99% of my wealth is in Bitcoin.
I understand your point. However, it's still early. I'm still paid in fiat, so it can be helpful to have a perspective on the value of something in terms of fiat (based on the current exchange rate). Some day i won't have to anymore.

Painful lesson in this case.
Pain is the best teacher 😂💯
Only if you survive it :(
I take it back. I agree with Jameson that it's bad software from what's probably an exchange: https://twitter.com/lopp/status/1700985810714239222?s=20
will be interesting to know how this transaction has been done, which wallet has been used 🤔
This makes a lot of sense. But wouldn't a wallet at least warn, or show that the fee is way off the charts?
Miner: F2Pool (What a nice piece of luck)
According to mempool.space
Overpaid 479867x on fee
Damn, too bad not Braiins pool

Lol yea
Can probably contact f2pool to recover the funds
Merry Christmas, random miner.
I've read on Twitter it could be an agreement with a miner, to get rid of tainted Bitcoins (on a blacklist or something).

I didn't think I could find the tweet as I don't follow this account, but I did! Here you go: https://twitter.com/TheVladCostea/status/1700978728409669730
faulty custom software?
Could there be a virus that swaps the transaction value and fee on any wallet, just after the user click to sign before transmitting the data?
when you say virus, do you mean the beer one?

fucking JWW strikes again
Ooh I love a good JWW burn. What's the story?

Well it could be that the miner paid himself to break the link of utxo
But there a chance that other will mine the block first
Not if it wasn't publicly broadcasted
This is correct, but in this case it appears to have been publicly broadcast, and was globally available before the block was mined.
I'd be interested to know!

Looks like it was PayPal in the end... https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1701993682990162039
F2pool has offered to return it.

please stop saying that. Is stupid.
Over Bitcoin network are paid only fees in sats.

only fiat maxis live in a fiat standard. Are you one?
SATs are the standard

Is not about how much bitcoins or fiat you have.
You will learn, you are still green.
