Hundreds of nearly identical Uncomfirmed Transactions in a row

I have been using Bitaps to monitor Uncomfirmed Transactions and the fees people are paying to send a BTC Transaction

Today I noticed something a little strange

Endless 14BTC Transactions

HUNDREDS of transactions that were almost identical in BTC amount sent.

They started around 9BTC, then gradually went to 10,11,12,13, and then topped out at at least 100 transactions that were 14.9BTC. This all lasted for about 2 minutes total.

With nearly 66k transactions waiting to be confirmed, and fees higher than they have been in a few days, does anybody know why someone would do this?

This may be a dumb question but why not do it in one big transaction to save on fees?

I hand typed some transaction IDs from the 'event'

12.98112989BTC Transaction
14.37674720BTC Transaction
14.37678286BTC Transaction

I don't notice any correlation between them

Anybody have any idea what this could be?
