I didn't miss it, but very few seem overly bothered. It seems very strange in its execution
Yeah, don't know much, possibly faulty randomness.

Aren’t the mentioned OP_returns associated with different transactions and blocks that were mined before July 4th? For each address that the large tx came from, it looks like the tx with the suspicious OP_returns came either on June 30 or July 2, and were attached to transactions that ADDED to the address, instead of pulling funds.
If I understand correctly, I’d say these are relevant details that make the connection to the large tx pretty spurious. The large tx do not have OP_return msgs attached that I can see.
