COSTLY TYPO ($130,000 – $140,000+)

In 2006, a Japanese trader at Mizuho Securities meant to sell one share of a job recruitment company for 610,000 yen (about $5,000 USD). Instead, he accidentally entered an order to sell 610,000 shares for 1 yen each.

Problem? The company had only 14,000 shares in total.

Even worse? The Tokyo Stock Exchange let the trade go through.

By the time they realized the mistake, buyers had scooped up the glitch, and the bank was on the hook for over $7 million in losses.

They begged the exchange to cancel the trade. The exchange said no.

The trader resigned. The company’s president stepped down.

One misplaced zero.

Seven million dollars evaporated. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?

Well, not much, really.
