Japanese Traders Gone Wild: Mizuho Melee
Wednesday, December 21, 2005 - 10:13 am
When $335 million has just been lost, emotions can run high. In scenes reminiscent of some of the parliamentary brawls that have happened in Japan, website Triple Witching Friday has come up with a series of photos that it claims capture the aftermath of the trading error. We just wish they’d included the next frame with the woman hurtling through the air. Wink. Nod.

What a bunch of bs for suckers.. mizuho logos everywhere with sequential action like a comic strip. Those doctored photos probably are from Taiwan’s parliament.

Duhh...it’s obviously a spoof. I work at Jap Bank and this had everyone cracking up on the trading floor.

Duh
Obvious photoshop—note the woman’s hair is defying gravity, laying horizontal—as if it was a phot taken when she was standing and rotated
