Today I saw someone mistake a series of "coincidental transfers" for a divine prophecy again.

Actually, looking at it more closely, it resembles a traceable path: A first withdraws tokens from the exchange to a new address, the next hop consolidates to an old wallet, then a few transactions are made to interact with a contract, and finally it returns to several fixed exit addresses.
There aren't that many miracles on the blockchain; it's more about habits, fees, scripts, and human laziness.
By the way, thinking about this wave of blockchain game crashes, inflation pushed the token prices down, and once the studios withdrew, the transfer paths instantly became clean...
It's like when a streetlamp goes out, people realize who has been walking there all along.
