Reasoning

0x691b692d9b181df61aba69f22f4721512012bd8a created all of the 12 safe addresses between Dec-20-2020 and Apr-07-2021.

All safe addresses only (!) interact with USDT and/or USDC and send large $ amounts of those tokens to addresses that are inter-connected with each other after having let the stablecoins sit idle in the Safes for unspecified periods of time.

All safe addresses with the exception of 4 (1 2 3 4) have only 1 Safe Owner: the creator 0x691, no one else. Why would you do this? It's a multi-sig after all, not a single-sig. I can't see a legitimate use case for this behavior, no matter how wide you want to make the definition of it.

The 4 exceptions are all 1/2 multi-sigs which were created as 1/1 multi-sigs initially with the second owner added through an "addOwnerWithThreshold" transaction only later.

When looking at the current balance of ETH and ERC-20 tokens hold some other patterns are evident:

8 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) of the eligible addresses have a current balance of 0 1 (1) of the eligible addresses has a current balance of 2 USDC 1 (1) of the eligible addresses has current balance of 1053 USDT and 2 USDC 1 (1) of the eligible addresses has a current balance of 3172.23 USDC 1 (1) of the eligible addresses has a current balance of 22627.5 USDT and 10 USDC

Methodology

I've discovered the 12 reported addresses by checking for the addresses that had the biggest # of Safe creations. After having identified that 0x691 had created >10 addresses, I looked for patterns by manually going through Etherscan and the information provided on gnosis-safe.io for each Safe.

owning several safes is not airdrop farming per se but quite common.

Store of value is legitimate Safe use.

All safe addresses with the exception of 4 (1 2 3 4) have only 1 Safe Owner: the creator 0x691, no one else. Why would you do this? It's a multi-sig after all, not a single-sig. I can't see a legitimate use case for this behavior, no matter how wide you want to make the definition of it.

The Safes have only 1 owner after the final tx removed 1 owner. They had more than 1 when the stable coins where stored in the Safe.

I'm unable to follow your reasoning on how you can be sure this is not legitimate usage.
