If some body had a stop loss at $250 and a buy at $200, they could have made a killing yesterday...

There was no bid for a short time, so their $250 stop would have been executed at $199. The stop only gets executed at the stated value if they have bids. A lot of people got taken out by this for big losses yesterday.
