I'd be more interested to see the other side of this trade and how many options were purchase that didn't pay out.

People buy options all the time, sometimes without any insider information, people buy options that happen to just perfectly line up with major market moving events.

Look at 9/11, there were several trades made right before the planes hit that paid out big time. The SEC investigated and found no evidence of insider information.
