"Where did this money come from?"

I guess, not from you. Is that the reason to question it?

"Was tax paid?"

What makes you think that this money supposed to be taxed?

If it is a transfer between two accounts owned by two different people - I guess that this huge amount would be taxable with some amount.

What is taxable is not determined by the amount nor by ownership of accounts.
