I think that's no way to bring it back,, because crypto is too dangerous, like this problem. Maybe u can contact support via email or anything

At the very least you’d need a signed message from the sending address I would think.

This is very rare to happen, you can try contact admin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35

Why?

Every adress is unique for each user.
We are commonly asked how we know that you sent a payment. The address above was newly generated just for you, so when any BTC is sent to it, we will know to credit it to your account. It is all automatic.

It seems highly unlikely that someone else send bitcoin to (it) -> referring to his adress specified for his Copper Membership? I'm pretty sure theymos could check whether or not that adress is connected to his account.
The only way (As far as i know) that that would be possible if is someone else also had access to his account.

I sent it from a trading floor

Which means that he most likely doesn't have access to the keys belonging to the adress.

I don't think its possible to refund.  If you don't hold private key then there is another option since you mentioned on OP. For each bitcointalk account generate individual bitcoin address, so admin could specify it easily which address generated for OP account. If match generated address and transaction address then you could expect for refund.

I already refunded it yesterday. (OP's topic was split from elsewhere: he posted in a bunch of random topics while also sending me 3 PMs in rapid succession...)

He paid to his account-unique address, so verification wasn't a problem. If he'd paid to a different address, then I would require a signature.

This is very rare to happen

It's less rare than you might think; it happens once or twice a year, sometimes with very large amounts...
