Wok, stock, and over a barrel

Takuo Tsurushima, chief of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and two other directors have resigned over their role in the "Fat Finger Incident":

Mizuho Securities, the Japanese brokerage, lost ¥40 billion [about $350 million US] after selling 610,000 shares in J-Com, a recruitment company, at ¥1 apiece instead of one share at ¥610,000.

The order represented more than 40 times the number of J-Com's outstanding shares. In related news, shares of Ginsu Corp. closed up 1 ½ in heavy trading. (*ba-dum, ching!* Thank you, I'll be here all blog!)

On a more wistful note, ain't it nice to know there's a place in the world where people still quit when they royally fuck shit up?
