It sounds like some kind of glitch hit here, whether it was the absurd sounding b or m thing or something equally as bizarre and unpredictable. It also wouldn't shock me to find out somebody made some money in all this. I'll definitely be following along.

To me, there's a difference between using computers to facilitate the trading process, and using complex algorithms in those computer systems that essentially decide whether or not to trade on the behalf of their owners.

The former rightly makes the market more fluid and streamlined, the latter has been shown to be prone to cause cascading problems.
