Opinion by Mathew Carr

Deep state making a point about awful climate action, over investment in AI and tech, corrupt markets?

It really just does not seem like this type of outage is something that CME would let happen.

Sigh.

It’s potentially fraud. There are real victims (eg real human traders wanting to exit open trading positions). So, it’s theft, too.

It’s potentially a gangster racket.

It’s potentially abuse of power.

It’s potentially abuse of human rights.
