i dont think that will work. wait until real sums are involved and see what happens. its not a business model to pay users for their own mistakes unless the system is rigged in some way anyway. just my opinion.

My immediate thought was whether someone might be able to induce the behavior. That combined with self-dealing (owning both the buying and selling accounts) could extract significant profits from an exchange that is willing to make its customers whole.

I would never do such (I consider it unethical, but more to the point I have neither the capital nor risk tolerance to pull it off), but I wonder if someone might. Or perhaps already has.
