For a few days in September 2023 nobody knew who it was

Then it turned out to be Paxos, the company behind PayPal's stablecoin

A single buggy transfer turned $2 in fees into $515,000 while the usual fee was around 61 cents

F2Pool mined the block and could have legally kept every coin but they gave it all back 5 days later
