Oh no, it was the flash crash II and some British kid (Maybe @sheda is behind all this)

Mate, have you looked at the price move in NZDUSD? If anything then this came close to a technical issue or flash crash or whatever you want to call it. A few stocks and index futures that hit circuit breakers are truly nothing special. But hey, it sells when CNBC brings up the term "flash crash".

Uhuh
