Your thoughts on the 2005 Mizuho Securities J-COM stock error? (Stock Trade Errors in general)
So I was looking up Mizuho Securities and apparently in the year 2005, they mistakenly sold over 600,000 shares of J-Com INC. for 1 yen each when it was supposed to have been over 600,000 yen. Tokyo Stock Exchange presumably neglected to suspend the questionable transaction and failed to address the colossal error.

Was it honestly Tokyo Stock Exchange's fault and did they deserve to compensate Mizuho Securities for an error that was enacted BY them in the first place?
In a rather muddy comparison to what happened to Knight Securities.. what constitutes Mizuho Securities being compensated through lawsuit vs. Knight Securities being rescued by investors?
