What do you think SEC, is this real or memorex?

It's a fake story circulating around the net for government purposes.

from what I understand these were put and call options bought by the same entity whomever they may be. It's set up so that they lose only trade costs (several million on something this big) if the market dosent go down but if it loses more than 30% they make a fortune. Actualy this one is small potatoes compared to the similar ones bought in the european market a couple weeks ago. Whoever put that one out gambled over 6 billion.

What are the traders saying?
