The USA thinks one guy working home was responsible for crashing the world's largest stockmarket.
We will do everything in our power to pursue those who attempt to engage in fraud or manipulation in our markets (As long as they aren't US investment banks obviously)

What I find strange about this is I'd have assumed anyone putting up a large bid/offer or whatever would have to have the cash or shares behind it to back it, otherwise it's a bit .. insane.
And I doubt this man had the amount to move these vast markets that much, it doesn't make sense? |

I also think spoofing is impossible to prove. If a price is say $10 and you set up a sell trade of $10.50 and a buy of $9.50 you can argue that the purpose of these is to provide liquidity to someone who wants to buy or sell a large volume, but if the price gradually moves towards your orders, you would want to cancel them as your large spread has now gone.
