A recipient also acted as the distributor
On September 25, one earlier recipient received 97,000 LINK from the original funder. Within 96 seconds, it sent 9,700 LINK each to the other eight recipients and the former distributor. The wallets’ owners and payment purpose remain unidentified.
Three reviewed payouts
The original distributor paid 10,000 LINK each on September 16 and 7,100 LINK each on September 20. The September 25 example involves the same ten addresses, with a different one sending the nine equal payments.
583,223.85 LINK went back to the funder
9 of the nine recipients sent LINK to the original funding address. The group sent 1,836,211.63 LINK to outside addresses during the covered period.
¹ Blockscout’s “Binance Deposit” label was captured September 16; ownership is unverified. Transfers do not establish sales. Other destinations may also be exchanges.
Sources & limitations
This is one selected wallet investigation, not a market-wide whale indicator. The group also held LINK before the first round and received other funds. Outflows cannot be traced as spending or returning the original allocation.
The route diagrams cover three reviewed sequences. They do not establish that 10% was retained as a fee, that the incoming tokens funded the outgoing transfers, or that all rounds have been found. Selected round reviewed .
Destination totals keep the original nine-recipient group fixed. Only positive transfers from those addresses to outside addresses count. In the September 25 round, 77,600 LINK moved within that group and is excluded; the 9,700 LINK payment to the former distributor counts as an external transfer. The original distributor’s own outflows remain excluded.
Amounts use integer LINK values and exact transaction/log identities from the published ledger. The window ends ; collection completed . These are provider-indexed records, not an independent chain replay.
Return-flow totals in older reviews included the distributor or shorter periods and are not added here. Balances and incomplete follow-up checkpoints are available in the downloadable evidence. Another matching payout or primary address attribution would warrant a new review; a fresh source pull alone does not update this analysis.
