Is this the mass leak?

lol no, that is just the Satoshidice gambling platform.

what's the deal with this then?

why did the tree get so big so fast. what am i missing?

It's something called "money laundering": breaking up the stolen coins into smaller units to make them harder to follow, and sending them to many different addresses. Fortunately with Bitcoin, we have a blockchain that makes it a bit easier to follow.

It looks more like a joy ride to me. Akin to stealing a car and joy riding around and dumping it when your done.

BTW Satoshidice looks like a network killer to me.
