Saw a post on Facebook, the poster was laughing at a transaction on ethscan with 2100 ETH ($305,603) as transaction fee and 0.1ETH as sent amount. most commenter concluded it was a mistake but I had some doubt and decided to research further then found a Reddit post on the same issue providing other transaction ID.

I need clarification.
Is this some act of money laundering or honest mistakes from address holders, what could be the possible reason for all this transactions to send such extremely high fee in the period of 48hours.
