May be the thief (thieves) moving funds...
They are dividing sums and sending them to different addresses.

They are currently transferring and dividing big sums from each new address to two new addresses.
Every step makes sums twice smaller.

And it is happening NOW !

Pft. There was no "theft". That's BS. ALL of the 5 wallets in the link above were known to last be accessed by Mt.Gox in 2011. How could they (GOX) claim that those bitcoin were "stolen" when they were still sitting in those wallets the entire time and were never touched (until this morning that is). What, someone stole the keys to those wallets? I don't believe that. A thief would have transferred and started tumbling those BTC the moment they had access to it, not sit and wait for GOX to fall, have all eyes on GOX and then 2+ years later all of a sudden wake up one morning and decide to wipe the wallets out.

No, it would appear that these are the remaining 200,000 coins that Gox has left after the theft of the 850,000 coins. And that they are being moved from Gox cold storage to the Gox hot wallet.

As to what Gox are doing with these coins, who knows? But due to the bankruptcy proceedings it's unlikely that anything will happen quickly. It could just be part of an audit to prove that these few coins are still accessible.

If it was only an audit why split it up? When Mark moved some 400k BTC back in 2011 he didn't split it up...

Because that's what the hot wallet code does. We know this because the PHP code has been leaked. There was some discussion as to whether this was really the Gox hot wallet, or a thief (who has read the leaked code) deliberately faking it to look like the Gox wallet. But Greg Maxwell pretty much conclusively confirmed it using the Gox API.

See the links I posted above.
