Interesting that they got in touch with the miner by tracing their transaction history and having their preferred exchange look up their account.
The blog post suggests that the miner voluntarily returned the funds, but I do wonder if there were hints of legal or other pressure after they managed to identify the miner.

This seems like a huge issue, especially given the fact that it led to someone sending a transaction with a $24 million fee without apparently being to see the fee before hitting send.
