Bitcoin Miner Repays Customer Who Accidentally Paid 2.5 Bitcoins Transaction Fee

A customer of Bitcoin hardware and service provider Bitmain recently found himself in a “rather embarrassing” predicament. Accidentally having paid a 2.5 bitcoin fee on a transaction mined by Bitmain’s Antpool in Bitcoin block 456363, the user took to social media, desperate to get the funds back.

It's great that he got his Bitcoin back, but it's still just a PR stunt from Bitmain/AntPool.  If this event wasn't going to be in public scrutiny, they wouldn't haven't have done it.  BTC2.5 is nothing to them, they have thousands and thousands of it.

Miners refunding transactions is not completely unheard of, as ASIC miner refunded a more than 200 bitcoin mining fee paid by a customer approximately three years ago.

...and probably regretting it big time now,200 bitcoins is effectively 250.000 USD now  Grin
joking,of course,was the right thing to do
but this is always your fault,should be very careful about the figures you type in
especially when there are substantial amounts of money in your wallet
compare it to writing a check instead of 10.000 to 1 mil and handing it over
