Anomalous 2.7 BTC transaction fee observed I noticed a 2417 byte transaction with a 2.7 BTC transaction fee. Is there any rational explanation for this, or was it perhaps a mistake?
What's also possible is that someone mistakenly swapped the sending amount and the transaction fee amount. I almost did that with the bockchain.info wallet but luckily noticed it in the confirmation screen.

In this case, he could have intended a fee of 0.02314796 BTC and tried to send 2.7 BTC to the address. The other 65+ BTC could be just change.
