WTF... The miner of that block must have been so lucky.
But I seriously doubt that that person did this unintentionally. It has to be intentional. Perhaps he owns the address 155fzsEBHy9Ri2bMQ8uuuR3tv1YzcDywd4 as well.

Someone probably made a mistake again. let's see if anyone pops up requesting miners to return the fee...
Yes! It was me, I made a mistake.
Please return the fee to a BTC address of mine
prove that the transaction is yours
anyway I'm sure that the person who did that transcation put the fee on bitcoin coloumn and the bitcoin on fee coloumn. poor him/her.
It's very obvious that he isn't and can't be the owner of that transaction. If he is, he'd be crying like a little kid

WTF watta transaction fee. I believe the sender got messed up. The total amount sent should be the transaction fee but he got messed and write it on the other box that should be the amount to be sent. Upside down.
You could send the money back from the address that was used to create the input, or you could ask the one claiming he owns the money to sign a message with the address used for creating the transaction.
sounds to me like that is one lucky guy lol
Wtf... This is pretty messed up, but maybe it wasn't a human error and it was a glitch or something? 
Seems like it's likely that the whole operation could be a laundering sort of thing, or that it was intended to go to those miners. I doubt that it was an accident. How badly would have had to screw up to do that?

This is the third time such a thing happens. Maybe there's been a murder or a suicide somewhere, but we haven't heard about it, or we don't know this is related. Someone was surely waiting to get that 291 BTC payment, and all he got was 0.0001 BTC. If the guy waiting for the payment was a drug dealer from Colombia, the guy who made the mistake will not live long.

Me either I will resign my part time job and I will put it into investment.

Banks dont like it and that the reason because the transaction cost are really low and that should be nice for us because so we can easy transfer some Bitcoin.
And there are also now more people that is going to use Bitcoin because of that low costs.

Here goes the full story of that fucked up guy
It's sad, but funny at the same time
I don't know about this one. It's not that easy to fat finger a mistake like that in a core wallet. And, most of the online wallets do the transaction fee accounting for the user. So, something smells awfully rotten here. But, my question would be....How rotten could it be if there was no fat finger victim in the whole process? If it were an inside manipulation....what could the possible motives be?
We've heard:
1) money laundering
2) mixing scheme
3) pyramid scheme manipulation
4) reputation farming
Anything else?

Omg this guy is an idiot. I wish I had that many bitcoin's, if I did I certainly wouldn't be so stupid with them. I hope the sender gets them back but I doubt it.
This guy is super smart, 2 words: money laundering, I am pretty sure the right guy got thoose fees.
Fees are supposed to be divided among all the miners (or investors?) of BitClub pool, so it'd be a very lousy money laundering if you had to share most of it with others. On top of that BitClub announced that if the fee is not claimed, they will donate large part of it to support Bitcoin development.
And you also see that there will be now more people that is going to use Bitcoin because it would be the perfect payment method.
It's just a way to launder coins.
and just how do you know which miner is going to hit the block?Send directly to the miner and the others will see it only after the block is mined.
I'm not completely sure if i'm correct here, but i think the basic idear (one of the theories) was not that a thirth party was sending a transaction to the pool, but the pool owner creating a transaction and only keeping it in his own memory pool without broadcasting it to the network. This way, he would be the only one knowing about the transaction, so when his pool hit the next block, the "secret" transaction would be included, but no other pool/miner knew about the transaction, so they couldn't include it in a block.
It was just a theory, most probably this is not what happened.
I guess that would be possible, he (the pool owner) might have to hack into his nodes code, and recompile his binaries in order to be able to do this, but i don't think it would be impossible (but maybe a lot of work)
i have read that this maybe a bot problem from a bitcoin mixer or something like that.
I was thinking about that the other day as well. Maybe it was dirty money put through a mixer to come out clean but the mixer messed up the fees of the transaction. I can't believe the reason was human error because with sum that big everyone will be extra careful before sending the coins. If these coins were really tumbled through a mixer I don't know if the real sender will want to come forward and claim the money. By the way are there any theories as to which mixer that was?
I saw this last night and still I'm curious about how did that transaction went.
Maybe there is just some kinda bugs but If I had that address definitely I don't know what to do about it.

Me too. My another doubt is that the miner can keeps all that 291.2409BTC?
If so, he's the luckiest dude on in this BTC world?
Yeah very lucky that got 291 effortlessly. But do you think people would try to catch him if he didn't return that amount ?
F* that Sh*t. There are people who scammed or hacked hundreds to thousands of bitcoins.
This miner didn't even scam, he was just lucky and he'll keep it, I don't think he's returning it or if it is possible to trace him.
