well , he was doing that from 2009 until 2014 and he was PAYED ( without a problem ) every single time... greed thats what got him at the end . what i dont understand is why is his broker never stopped him from doing what he was doing .they could just told him not to do it again and refuse a withdraw ( on grounds it was illegal move or what ever .... ) but they never stopped him ..

More volumes = more commissions, I guess.

But yes, greed does catch up at some point. That 'one last time' and boom!!

I don't get why is this illegal. Perhaps because I'm a newbie, but from what I understand, he placed huge orders to trick algos and traders into buying or selling (moving the price to where he wanted) and then withdraw those orders and bought cheap.

If convicted this could open a whole new can of worms for large traders.

I'm not sure as traders we should use the word 'Greed' we play a zero sum game. There's Wealth Accumulation and Excessive Wealth Accumulation, neither of which IMO is Greed.
