the transaction did in fact come from TF

Do you have any proof for this? Several people (and even the Eater) received coins from this source.

Yes.

The address that is holding 1,000BTC, and that was giving away BTC to users is 1BfxSuxJqXuizBbTcP238JZY9DT4eqvzJG

The above address received 1,010 BTC via 641b11014a25e305aa075cfd9505435c697602890cc4fb76f27bc7ba95a61a76 from 1Hy1rceh2EaKnAQhGZocTFUGnKFFD3mNG5

The above address received a similar amount of BTC via 938e072318486566a9b8c301b9937052fc25f500ee4d0cea9f4dde07d9614b24 from 13tikBdmMVkyuykDVNmv3tTr8YkVN3Xrut

13tikBdmMVkyuykDVNmv3tTr8YkVN3Xrut is believed to belong to TradeFortress according to this post by malevolent in 2013. I am not 100% certain on his thought process, however a brief look at blockchain transactions around this time makes this seem reasonable.

If you were to believe malevolent, then either TF sent you BTC, or someone purchased ~$500,000 worth of BTC from TF just to giveaway. I would personally doubt the later is what happened.

OK. It certainly looks like there's a connection. Although, there are several beliefs. I am looking for evidence, and there's no room for beliefs there.

I can look to try to figure out what malevolent's thought process was when he posed that 13tikBdmMVkyuykDVNmv3tTr8YkVN3Xrut belongs to TF sometime tomorrow. The thing about this kind of blockchain evidence is that unless you are able to catch him "red handed" in possession of the private keys to the address he sent the BTC from, then you cannot say with 100% certainty that the BTC came from TF.
