When the shit hits the fan Johny Pisant will be sucking wind when he keeps trying to pull his money out, but every time he tries the plunge protection team invokes the kill switch.

The researchers say this trade somehow reduces the total amount of profits in the system -- in other words, it not only hurts regular, slowpoke investors, but also other high-speed traders. Whatever profit each individual robot makes on a latency arbitrage trade is less than the amount of profit that is destroyed by the practice, according to the report. This is just more evidence that zapping thousands of trades per second does nothing for society.
