front running is illegal ............ perhaps ask exchanges if they allow certain members to flaunt the rules daily ?

Regulators are supposed to provide "fair and orderly markets " . Therefore I struggle to understand how "bitcoin " was ever allowed to trade ? Those who have lost monies should learn and trade at established "lit " exchanges . Bitcoin can join Mr Madoff as those who temporary fooled the markets BUT were eventually caught .

bitcoin no more than a glorified "ponzi" ?

a killer switch in the dax at 2 % = 180 ticks . 10 years ago the dax fell by
800 ticks as a rogue trader placed the price in the volume box and bosh !
The lesson learnt here was not the killer switch but allowing trades to stand and idiots who sold were punished in the pocket !

On current form Barclays appear to of been guilty of most market abuses and manipulation since 2002 ............. Therefore very clever to suddenly lose all trading data for a decade . A $4 m fine for miss data that probably showed mass market abuse is better than the hundreds of millions they would of incurred if taken to court . I Struggle to believe the regulators have fallen for this trick . Years ago REFCO burnt down warehouses full of trading data when regulators came snooping ! Another reason why Barclays are still not fit to carry on trading ; perhaps theres a few retired staff looking over their shoulders now too ?

so despite the fines for libor manipulation ; UBS still feel that cheating and abuse is going on !
Perhaps the offer on suspending their trading licences would be a better deterrent ?

hurrah ...............finally regulators are listening after years of honest traders complaining of blatant abuse and manipulation !
a tip .......... all they have to do is take a trip to the exchanges and look at their time and sales and witness how the exchanges allow the abuse to happen on their doorstep . My whistle blowing is directed at the exchanges who either ignored the abuse or were in on it ! "libor abuse " was so obvious it was an embarrassment in STIRS markets .

perhaps best solution would be to suspend /banish the culprits who place ridiculous orders in the system to make it fallover ?
Sadly we all know that would remedy the situation immediately but !!!!

Perhaps ANONIMITY has run its race ? Its not really lived up to its billing and allowed many an error and manipulator take command and fool most regulators .

the regulators are correct in suspending the company from trading .... Perhaps if other regulators took this approach folks like JPM GSF BZW RBS would not keep offending and "fair and orderly markets" would return !
