i have not found a financially literate article yet
what was the transaction? strike & exp. straight puts I assume, not a spread.. did it show up in open interest friday? what exchange did the trade go off on (or off-exchange?)
they say this was a clerk adding zeros. rumble is mentioned, but did other stocks, more boring ones not related in any way to this, have similar errors?
Above is a link that John Robinson found and posted on another thread.

Since April 18 there have been maybe 30 trades / shorts(?) on DJT Media. (I’m not sure exactly how to read that chart, but I’m presuming those are “shorts”. Most are in the tens of thousands. Two trades of about 1.7 million. One trade the day before the assassination attempt of 12 million. (1,700,000 vs 12,000,000).
I would think if it was a mistake they would have caught it that day - or when they typed it in.
Just transferring money from my checking to savings account they confirm my amount and say ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE FINAL, and I’m always VERY careful in double checking it.
