Multiple times the fees are > 20 BTCs. Any theories?

It might be a pool weirdly paying back to itself.  If you are the pool and don't submit the tx to the network but instead just include it in the block you submit, the fee goes back to the pool itself.

Except that these transactions were confirmed by a bunch of different pools.
