My share were bought immediately as if someone was waiting to buy them. Is there an explanation for that?
Probably a computer algorithm that detected a large price change in the security and sent in the orders automatically.

The next morning when they called ARCA they told me that ARCA talked to the seller and he refused to cancel the trade.
If you failed to file before the time deadline, this is normal behavior by exchanges. They will ask the counter-party to willingly bust the trade and the counter-party always says no. Would you give up a $40k+ trade for someone else?
Again no justification for a bust here if there was an 8.85 limit with a 6.40 bid. Plus the story keeps changing. If the brokers log shows they received an 8.85 limit - which is one hell of a coincidence when the limit was alleged to be 18.85 then they actually delivered a good fill and there is no reason to ask MM/Dealer to bust. it would have been voluntary on their part.
We can debate this, but without a trade log it looks good.
After hours with earnings due pre open the next morning. I'm kind of surprised the after hours market wasn't 100 up and monster width. If it was an 18.85 limit there should have been no fill. 8.85 limit the fill should stand and there is no basis for a bust.
Get the trade logs. A reputable broker will give you the trade log session.
That is an irrelevant fact. Price action the next day is also irrelevant. Ask anybody on the forum how they would have bid it after hours with earnings pre open the next morning. We all would have defaulted to the max allowable width and the smallest allowable size.
Your fill is actually above the bid. That argument is irrelevant.
Sorry
