High Speed Traders ... fixing the market.

*I spoke out of turn, this isn't illegal, because it's never been done before, so technically it's not front running.

Yes there are other trades, market limit trades and the like, but you aren't going to have everyone change their trade types over night to stop things like this and many companies don't do trading that way.

Either way, I think the forensics of it is as interesting as anything else.
