You implied that, without HFT companies, we'd be right back there, though I see now that you didn't explicitly say exactly that.
- tptacek 11y agoFor your argument to make sense, all forms of corruption would need to have a single cause, and all interventions to reduce corruption would need to impact all forms of corruption. That's nonsensical and not a point I'm willing to engage further with. I think we've pushed this thread far enough to the right margin of the page.
- Frondo 11y agoI get that you're passionate about HFTs, but what's that old saying? Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.
