"This is the largest #bitcoin transaction fee ever paid in dollar terms, at a cost of $3.14m.

The previous record holder was the PayPal/Paxos incident a few months ago, clocking in at only $510k"

I like that its Pi million dollars.

They say its money laundering?

Is #Bitcoin used in such?

I thought its against fiat and the banks?

So,how does it differ?

Fee went to a mining pool so no lol..

That's different from overpaid?

Someone, probably institutional made a mistake, block was mined by AntPool so they got the btc from the fees. Bitcoin network says it's their money but probably they'll return it...

About money laundering, which isn't the case here, you can launder millions with anything even with one painting, you don't need to use the most watched public ledger in history.

Oh no... Someone fucked up.

Had time to rbf too πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

Could this be a way to wash hacked/stolen Bitcoin?

By AntPool? :) nope

I'm not suggesting that this specific transaction was actually washing bitcoin but I got me thinking this might be a way to do it because large pools have so much hash they can afford to work on out of band transactions.

Was wondering the same..

The block was mined by AntPool.

AntPool has the 2nd biggest hashrate and is owned by leading ASIC manufacturer BitMain, China.

Looks like Antpool for the win. 🟧

We’re thankful
