I don't think that using AWS would help them that much. They need to keep very secure (know any banks that use AWS?), and the main trading engine can't be parallelised anyway (because of order sequence and the blockchain).
(Also: Amazon would chuck them out as soon as the first senator reached for their phone, as with wikileaks.)

I had read that their trading engine can't be parallelised and assumed the blockchain was the reason. I stand corrected. edit: this guy explains it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5539387 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5539387
