Judged by all the one to multiple address transaction it should be a service provider on the Bitcoin network of some sorts, it could be mybitcoin.com , or deepbit mining pool , or mtgox , or just a rich paranoid privacy concerned individual splitting and consolodating and transferring his BTC. Very unlikely, but investigation is warranted, someone could have double spend himself up to that amount by gaining control of the network with a botnet - but then that would have shown as a spike in the network hash here when it happened: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/Also if you add all the major mining pool's network hash power (see bitcoinwatch.com) - it equates roughly to the network total, and nobody at present has a majority to override network algorithm rules and accept his own double spend. This again shows how important it is for the network integrity that it is decentralized and not monopolized/centralized under one major mining pool. Or it could be something/someone hiding and double spending in the "Other" category of miners as shown on bicoinwatch.com , doubt that though - it is only fairly recent development when deepbit mining pool went down, but definitely worth inspecting by the blockchain inspectors!!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Looks to me like this could be (one of) MtGox's reserve wallet(s). Not much of a surprise here.

Double spending does not create double the coins. One of the two transactions will be rejected. If you could sustain a fork for a while, it would take a while for that to happen, but if there was a fork for more than a block or two it would quickly be noticed.

If I had 280k BTC, I would occasionally transfer it from one address of mine to another, just to freak everybody out. Maybe that's what this guy is doing.
Then, just for the fun of it, I'd make a thousand transfers, all around the same time, so the dots together form a large, scrolling penis on bitcoinmonitor.com.
Someone gotta make a program that carefully times an array of transfers in order to draw or write things on those graphs

(I dont always get new reply notifications, pls send a pm when you think it has happened) Wanna gimme some BTC/BCH for any or no reason? 1FmvtS66LFh6ycrXDwKRQTexGJw4UWiqDX The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

Did anybody tried to send your money from one address to another?
What will happen?

Think I'll send 0.01 btc to that address, just to screw up his accounting.

Yeah it's probably mtgox moving coins. I think it would be a bad idea to store so many coins in one spot. What if the computer crashed? Not a pretty sight. 400k is a lot when there are only 6.xx million in the whole world!

Could also be BTC held on behalf of others.
MtGox / MyBitcoin / etc
I think this is very likely.

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.
"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.
There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.
