Gavin Andresen, a lead Bitcoin developer, sent me a 10 BTC donation ($3000 at the time) when he meant to send $10 worth of BTC.

Yes, I refunded.

Great example of how "Bitcoin is trustless" means "Bitcoin only works is the trust is provided externally".

It's not just Goodness of heart. This case can fall under existing laws. You are not allowed to keep obvious transfer mistakes like these.

Who would enforce this? The Bitcoin police?

Right, that's "trust" being provided by the legal climate.

Yeah in banking law, there is no bitcoin bank...
