In Dec 2005, Mizuho Securities faced a disastrous typo that cost them $225 million 💸. A broker mistakenly sold 610,000 shares of J-Com Co. for ¥1 each instead of 1 share at ¥610,000 🤯. Despite attempts to cancel, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's system failed, causing chaos 📉.
This incident highlights:
- The power of human error in finance ⚠️
- The need for robust system safeguards 🛡️
- Markets are unforgiving—detail is crucial
A legendary reminder: one keystroke = millions lost 💔.
