It's more likely that he moved his btc to 5 different addresses. If this person sold, btc would have come out of one address over a period of time. Then the bitcoins he sold would be circulated to other individuals.
A 5 wallet split to diversify his holdings seems more likely.

So now we had a few big movements today.
There were this addresses:

So the press would or politics would say: Yes, there are 5 individuals who own 200 000btc.
Now, there is not really a way to find out if the ower of this coins got changed, but they were all - up to today - controlled by one person. But now this coins all got split up into smaller portions. It is odd, that they did not use even numbers. If you follow the coins you get to addresses with 300 to 3000 coins.
Many of the coins stopped moving about 4 hours ago, some are still moving (I saw one with 6 confirmations).
So I would guess the 200 000 coins of this 5 addresses got - so far - split up into about 150 different addresses.
-> For the press this will be 150 individuals. So this is good for the image of Bitcoin?
