Debate About Fairness of the Stock Market

Throwdown!

It's Brad Katsuyama, the founder of IEX, a new exchange that touts itself as being more fair for investors.  Michael Lewis joins him in defending what he wrote in Flash Boys.  On the attack on behalf of HFT is Bill O'Brien, then president of the BATS exchange.



Since the debate, the BATS exchange had to issue a statement correcting something O'Brien said, and O'Brien has gotten fired.
