Dapp Market confused after record 600 ETH cryptokitty sale

On September 4, 4:21 AM UTC, a record Dapp sale was made on the Ethereum blockchain.
Whereas record prices are usually met with high spirits within the Cryptokitty community, there is currently confusion surrounding this sale, which seems to have no basis in any of the accepted benchmarks of value within the game.
Say hello to the world's highest priced digital cat.

Kitty #896775 was bought off of the market for .00196 ETH the day before, the only cryptokitty on that account, then relisted for 600 ETH, before being purchased by this account

On the surface it appears to be money laundering, but it would have involved a sizeable transaction fee paid to Cryptokitties and would be a very high profile way to do a discreet transaction that could have been less noticeable if payed out over multiple smaller transactions spread out over multiple Dapps.

The previous highest price for a cryptokitty was 253 ETH for a "Founder" kitty (one of the original 100 kitties created) and the most recent high price for a kitty was the 203 ETH payed for the one of a kind "time traveler kitty" at an art auction held for charity.

When all other record sales on this Dapp were based on rarity/scarcity, having what is known within the community as a "shit cat" go from being sold at floor prices to record prices a day later, has definitely turned the concept of value within the Dapp community on its head.
