So many whales, they were doing fine up to a point, but they haven't thought of terminators.
That's why they are surfacing.

Most likely they are the early adopters when it is easy to accumulate bitcoin when the difficulty was low.

I would define anyone who places a 10k+ BTC buy/sell order without limits are a whale.

They probably eat really nice food or like this guy: http://www.vice.com/Fringes/portrait-of-a-russian-oligarch

Who are the whales?

Simple question, but I will be more specific:

1) do we know who they are?
2) how are they defined?
3) if they are sellers, how many bitcoins do they own on average? How did they acquire them? When?
4) if they are buyers, how many bitcoins are they buying on average?
5) what do we know about their intentions and behavior?
6) what do they eat for lunch?
7) etc.
