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.

This makes a lot of sense. But wouldn't a wallet at least warn, or show that the fee is way off the charts?

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've read on Twitter it could be an agreement with a miner, to get rid of tainted Bitcoins (on a blacklist or something).

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?

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 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.
