BFX Bot Gone Wild

It appears as if trading is slowed or suspended on BFX, after a rogue bot seemingly took over ltc/btc trading for a period of 35 minutes. The intense volume and consistent range of the trades suggests that this was not human error (unless they were wasted).

The impact could be seen on the ltc/usd market, as correctly functioning arb bots (which were obviously also trading the ltc/btc pair vs the rogue bot) took advantage of the situation. Quick traders using their old fashion fingers certainly took advantage of the opportunity as well.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming of watching OKC lead the LTC market.
