What if this is an exchange?

That dude has too much btc to be 1 guy. He'd have to be a multi-billionaire, and we don't have too much of those.

I wonder where he bought his btc? How did he buy it so that no one noticed such a spike... He must've used multiple exchanges and maybe also localbitcoins

that address my friend, belongs to an exchange. Huobi to be exact.

it is the third most popular address on the rich list which has one of the biggest balances of bitcoin:

and according to wallet explorer you can see it is sending to and from known Huobi wallets.

and it is not purchasing bitcoin, it probably is their cold storage and they are mainly consolidating inputs.

But where is the mystery, the conspiracy, the drama...

Take a look at zerohedge and the comment section:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-15/bitcoin-tests-10k-mysterious-crypto-trader-dip-buys-400-million
Banks, governments, hackers...

Not that marketwatch is any better but at least they've said something like:
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/anonymous-trader-buys-400-million-of-bitcoin-2018-02-16

“In the meantime, the $400 million whale is fuel for the Telegram channels where traders lay out their conspiracy theories,” said Jeff Koyen, president of 360 Blockchain USA.

Oh, and OP..
How is it unmasked when you don't have a clue who the "perpetrator" is?

It is highly unlikely that this volume of coins were bought by an individual man, this is almost certainly an institutional investor, or hedge fund that is looking to involve themselves in the cryptosphere. That, or it is simply an exchange or casino moving funds around.

Kind of an idiot stores that many btc in ONE address?
