The cool thing about blockchain is it's open-sourced. EVERY action that happens involving the WHACKD token McAfee created can be tracked for analysis. I've done some heavy lifting regarding the first 6 months of WHACKD's existence, I'll present those findings throughout the bread. What we should be focused on now is what transfers are taking place in real time, over the last week or so and going forward.
TLDR- EVIDENCE SUGGESTS MCAFEES DEADMAN SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED ON MONDAY, WHEN HE LEARNED OF THE EXTRADITION
UPDATE SINCE ORIGINAL POST: MCAFEES SELF-DEPLOYED SMART CONTRACT HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS
IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS 10,774 AND 9697
Initialization
When McAfee launched the WHACKD blockchain, you see the entire first month's worth of transfers into roughly 31k accounts in the exact same amount of 10,774 coins. This is demonstrated in section A) marked above. This dissemination of coins happened 24hrs a day consecutively into various accounts and would have been McAfee populating his blockchain with different users. Most of these accounts lay completely dormant- there are roughly 23,000 accounts that have 10,744 coins transferred into them and have been dormant for a year and a half with no other activity.
Phase 2
What you also notice mixed into the first months of transfer activity is alot of these accounts now containing 10,744 coins sent the entireity of the balance in their accounts to a select group of accounts. These transfers were made to the tune of 9,697 coins (10,744 minus the 10% burn rate). This is demonstrated in section B) marked above. What is interesting about these accounts is that only a select few were chosen. After 6 months worth of this activity, roughly only 280 accounts had been recipients of these 9697 coin payments. You now have what I would term 'controller' accounts that are 1 layer removed from the initialization.
After running analysis on these these 'controller' accounts, a pattern emerged. MOST of these ~280 accounts ended up sending all of the coins they contained into a SINGLE specific account- WHICH JUST BECAME ACTIVE AGAIN WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS. Some transferred their coins directly there, other accounts used multiple layers of transfers- however 2-3 hops later they all ended up in this 1 SINGLE specific account:

^^Come to find out this is what you would term a SmartContract that would have been deployed by McAfee himself. If we only studied this specific contract and all transfers involving this account (WHACKD coin address), we would be able to decipher what was occuring.
I'll stress this again. McAfee sets up blockchain. Makes transfers into accounts of 10,774. Makes transfers into subaccounts of 9697. (Reminds me of 1GB versus 930MB usable). THEN, the single biggest commonality after that was he used this SmartContract mentioend above and sent almost all funds from the ~280 controller accounts through that SmartContract. It seems to be the single biggest focus point of whoever was using the WHACKD token. It seems to be the only reason he set up the entire coin
Then, after all of this priming and setting up, activity on the blockchain ceases to exist.. Goes from 5000 transfers/day to maybe 20 transfers/month. Everything lie dormant until just recently.
