This anomaly coincided with problems with Amazon’s cloud service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), in the Asia-Pacific region, which disrupted exchanges’ work today. AWS’ status page confirms that there were issues at the Tokyo facility and it has been resolved.

Meanwhile, BitMax announced that “due to abnormal market fluctuations, the exchange has temporarily suspended trading service for certain accounts” – those which had traded during 1:00 a.m. - 3:30 a.m. EDT on August 23rd. “Trading of these accounts will be resumed upon completion of confirmation and follow-up measures”, the announcement states.
BitMax did not respond to our request for comment.
Also, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said that this major exchange was having problems too, stating that with AWS having issues, “mostly with caching services”, it was affecting some users globally. On Binance, it was causing "causing some 500 error messages on APIs and affecting some withdrawal processing.”

apparently it was like a freakin amazon AWS bug? I dunno lol

apparently someone said SOME of these crazy cheap order prices were filled/ MAYBE the volume was low and people ere desperate? OR people saw the orders, clicked em/ weird how they were in here in the list normaly the exchange shouldnt allow this
