Hello Steemit Community!
You read it right, someone wasted $71000 sending ethereum to a ICO Token Sale and the transaction didn't complete, so he wasted $71000 in the transaction fee.
The person that is identified by the ethereum address 0xf51ec864d5fb2f184198e369fe063fc77045a3ad sent 1700 ethereum ($515 000) to enter the AirSwap ICO Token Sale and he didn't make it mainly because there wasn't enough tokens left on the Token Sale.
AirSwap ICO was whitelisted where people registered and did the KYC and each account got a individual cap of 3.3 ethereum and this person sent the 3.3 ethereum before:
Then AirSwap made a public sale of the extra cap because not everyone used the max cap, this when this person tries to buy it all paying 400,000 Gwei and 592379 Gas Limit
If a ethereum transaction doesn't complete you get the ethereum back but you still pay the transaction fee, this person didn't get the AirSwap tokens and lost $71000 for nothing.
