user1213: As the title asked - what is the largest transaction by value to date?

user5406: In November 2013 a transaction for 194,993 BTC at the time worth $149 Million was sent.

user153: Probably this one, 550,000 BTC transferred at one time.

Now the question, was it a transfer from one person to another, or was it a transfer simply to, for example, another wallet once the passphrase encryption feature was made available.
