Crypto Miner Debates Keeping Accidental $500K Bitcoin Windfall

Bitcoin miner Chun received an accidental 20 BTC ($500k) reward from Paxos for a 0.008 BTC transaction.
Chun initially agreed to refund it but is now reconsidering after the claimant kept saying EST instead of EDT/UTC.
The crypto community on Twitter has mixed opinions on whether Chun should return the funds.
Most believe Chun has no obligation to return the 20 BTC and it should be distributed among miners.
Mining profitability varies greatly by country - Lebanon is 783x cheaper for mining 1 BTC than Italy.
