Errhh.. no, it would discredit either electronic trading, or finance full stop. The world would shut down the stockmarkets permanently rather than tolerate that level of dominance from a single actor. No-kidding, the most likely result of this is a world where if you want to buy stock you bloody well show up in person on the trading floor and sign physical paperwork. In blood so they can check you are not a robot.
