Off topic -- spot the most improbable sentence
Traders may have gotten last week’s Fed news 7 milliseconds early
There would seem to be three possibilities: 1) Some trader was extraordinarily lucky, placing a massive bet just before a major announcement that would make that bet highly profitable. 2) There was a leak, either by a media organization with early access to the data or even someone at the Fed. Or 3) The laws of physics have been violated as the information traveled from Washington to Chicago faster than the speed of light. You can see why Option 2 looks the most plausible.
Presumably there will be a hard look into what exactly happened...
