Now that it has been confirmed these were in fact exchange trades, perhaps you can update your statistics reports on how much was being sent to exchanges and by whom. It paints a pretty clear picture of the largest share of the "cashing out" that was going on.
I mean, I guess only to the extent that anyone cares, but I did make this observation several times in the past, but I guess it wasn't included because, theoretically, it have been something else. Most of us were pretty sure that it wasn't though.
