A crypto user accidentally paid $90,000 in gas fees for a $2,200 Ether transfer, according to Etherscan data shared by a pseudonymous user on August 11. The user mistakenly paid 34.26 ETH in fees for a 0.87 $ETH transaction, significantly overpaying due to a "fat finger" error.

Such mistakes are not uncommon in the crypto space, where users sometimes make significant errors in transaction amounts. For example, in 2023, an NFT trader paid 1,055 ETH for a $1,000 NFT.

While this high fee could be a simple mistake, some speculate it might be a form of money laundering, as it would require coordination with an Ethereum validator to process the transaction correctly.
