So simple question!

Hello, sometime a question is so simple that you have a doubt (lol) here it is:

2 players left at the turn in a hand - player A bets 500 - player B raises at 1500 - player A takes his time - then … suddenly player B throws his cards in the muck thinking that player A has folded (witch is not the case at all : no confusion, no angle move, nothing from A : just an error from B)  … OK the hand of B is dead but can he recover the raise (1000)?

I personnaly think so because of the official rules BUT … then imagine that:

3 players left at the turn in a hand - player A bets 500 - player B calls 500 - player C raises at 1500 - player A folds - player B takes his time - then … suddenly player C throws his cards in the muck thinking that player B has folded too (witch is not the case at all : no confusion, no angle move, nothing from B : just an error from C)  … OK the hand of B is dead and I think he can’t recover is raise because it pushed A to fold … so who wins what? I would simply say B wins everything of the pot (if his stack can cover the 1500) … but it’s so unfair for A !?!
