Here's what I'm guessing is happening. The person who hacked bitfinex is now trying to launder the money. Here's how.
Declare a "giveaway" where you give 1000 bitcoin to some "random" person who posts there address on several different bitcoin forums.
Post an address yourself to one of the forums.
Wait a week, and give the money to the address you posted.
Claim the money wasn't illegally gotten, but from this giveaway.

nice info mate
Am i the only one that understood this as a 1 btc to 1000 users ?!
Imagine people reading in newspapers and tv that some guy gave away 550$ to 1000 people each. That would be insane
It says: "one lucky winner will receive 1000 BTC"
