RE: GDax (Coinbase) bails out margin traders who lost their money
No, a whale dumping ETH and clearing the order book causing a flash crash is not a technical error. The risks of margin were clearly outlined. The exchange operated as it should have and liquidated everyone's position.
Sure a circuit breaker would have stopped this but they did not have one per their terms. Not their fault.
