Capcom In Gold-Plated Diapers?
Bond trader nearly invests billions by mistake.
US, February 26, 2009 - All those working at Capcom got pretty darn close to wearing those gold-plated diapers that we keep hearing about. See, it appears that bond trader UBS AG mistakenly put in an order for 3 trillion yen worth of Capcom's stock (totaling a whopping 31 billion USD). Needless to say everyone at the videogame publisher was thrilled until someone realized that the company as a whole isn't worth that amount.
UBS AG was able to cancel the order and re-place it at the intended purchase amount of 31 million yen (roughly 315,000 USD). Thanks to 1UP for turning us on to the story.
