Someone submitted a transaction with incorrect parameters allowing this to happen and the miner got a $23m tip as a result



Seems more like fraud/money laundering, from what I can tell


Ignoring the already public statements that have already been made by the Bitfinex and co, and the fact that a large transactions like this is guaranteed to trigger folks in the community to poke at the transaction, I'm curious what leads you to believe that its a money laundering attempt?
