Why should this person get anything back? Code is law. And if code is law all bugs are also law.
The half million was a fair and just transfer. Whoever is the recipient is fully deserving both morally and ethically of their new-found wealth.
If I was on the receiving end of this transaction, I’d thank the sender for the money and move on with my life. Of course I’d never be in the position to receive the funds because I’m not stupid enough to play this game—odds are very good I would be the one who sent half a million dollars by mistake!
I mean, I think I’m joking but not really. If you want to practice “code is law” and really mean it, this is the kinds of stuff that will happen.
