The (most?) interesting part of this was the final 14,000,000 donation came from someone going by "savethemhood". They claim... I take from the greedy to feed and blanket the poor. I'm here today because I believe we are aligned. I'm here to redistribute millions of Doge, from the greedy, to you. They appear to be (unconfirmed) responsible for theft of fiat and is converting it to dogecoin to "help" people. They also gave out 10,000 Doge to any redditor that asked for it. Here's their reddit post: http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/20idcv/my_name_is_hood_im_here_for_you/ http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/20idcv/my_name_is_...

The most likely explanation is probably that they're wealthy and want to donate some of it while having some fun. They're probably not a thief.

  That reddit post says: >Do not be concerned, friends. These are not stolen crypto. I convert the paper fiat of the wealthy into crypto for your to spread. Please help those in need. I read that as "I didn't steal cryptocurrency, I converted fiat." - so did they steal fiat, or is it legitimately gotten wealth?

    I'd guess that this is an oblique reference to working in finance.

I don't think it is anything like that. If you read /r/bitcoin or similar forums for any amount of time, you come across people with the opinion that the existing financial systems are "banksters" or what not. People with kind of extreme views. I'm betting it is just one of those people who feels like by using a cryptocurrency they are not using the existing financial system and thus not supporting "banksters". Kind of some false bravado if you ask me...
