I dont..

Koaj does.

I do not know, but it is as reasonable as the lame "fat thumb" theory...talk about an excuse that reeks to high heaven...

Not doubt!  In the entire history of the market no one has ever "Fat Thumbed" that kind of mistake.

If you have worked in the industry you know that order entry into the market CAN make for errors.

Most trading systems have checks that if you enter a value which is greater than an established number, then the system asks if you made the proper entry and you can opt out of the trade.

I also know that if you are entering right into the heart of the system via Level II that often times these safeguards do not exist...

Errors can occur, I just dont think that is the explanation here...they could have pointed to one trade and proven it by now.They haven't...

After looking at the heads of both exchanges go at it, the only thing we know is that we dont know...

Well I think the firm in question is probably back peddling like crazy to get the event reversed because it cost the firm a TON of dough.
