The most expensive mistake in the world cost 340 million. dollars.

The mishap was the case which occurred in Japan in 2006. One financial company Mizuho Securities Brokers inadvertently sold 610 k. shares of J-Com Co for the price of one yen apiece (less than one cent) instead of having to sell one share of its real price at 610 k. Yen (more than 5 thousand dollars). Penny stocks quickly found a buyer.




Wondering what punishment received employee of the company for such ... typo?
