Of course, this is not carelessness and negligence at all. Have to be blind or mentally retarded (I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or offend) for the sender to make such a mistake with the numbers. A person dealing with bitcoin is probably not one of them, if sender managed to figure out how it works.
It's hilarious that people who don't know how to save money, people who make such mistakes, are millionaires.
For likers of alternative versions. It could also be a way to launder money! Bitcoin pull will later return most of the btc fees clean and fresh mined bitcoins. Why not, right?
No, that would be the dumbest thing to do, even dumber than this mistake. This transaction gained a huge attention, right? So, if the person wanted to launder money, why would he/she make a transaction that would cause such a big attention? Now everyone knows about this transaction. Personally, I exclude that it was done for laundering.
F2Pool owner is now asking the community what they should do with the funds:

There was a very interesting comment on that post that I want to quote:
If it's 100% verified that it was them and it was a clear mistake (which seems pretty obvious), then I'd avoid any civil disputes. Although, the neutrality of the network could be called to question in the future. I think a 50/50 split shows miner good faith while also punishing the mistake. It should be made clear that this is an act of kindness, not obligation, extended by the miners.
