The New York Stock Exchange unexpectedly shut down trading in all of its listed stocks Wednesday morning.

The exchange said on Twitter: "The issue we are experiencing is an internal technical issue and is not the result of a cyber breach."

A trader on the floor of the exchange in lower Manhattan, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that after the suspension began, traders were told that the problem was related to updated software that was rolled out before markets opened Wednesday.

Trading was resumed around 3:00 PM after having been down since 11:30 AM.

    Yes Bradley is now Chelsea. At the time he acted, he was still a 'he' so I chose that pronoun.

    I believe that techs are the best positioned to fight the top criminals, the bankers, who commit their crimes using the systems we build and manage for them. A Navy SEAL team can kill a room full of bankers, but they can't defeat the system and global criminal syndicate they represent. Only we can. The same goes for the NSA and the CIA. We are the soldiers for this war.

    No one can tell you what you should do. But if you do feel the way you have said, then conscience and self-respect argue you cannot do nothing. Find a path of action you can countenance, and take it. Mind that though the Masters of the Universe and their puppets in government now brazenly act with utter contempt for the Rule of Law themselves, they will not hesitate to use "the law" to suppress you even if what you do is clearly within your legal right to do if what you do inconveniences them or challenges their power in any way. Case in point: Herve Falciani [theregister.co.uk], a tech at HSBC that blew the whistle on its massive tax evasion schemes for its wealthy clients. He took that information to the tax departments of the government of France and Spain who were being deprived of billions of euros of lost revenue; it did not stop the government from trying to come down on him. But if we had masses of guys like Herve doing the same thing the global banking criminal enterprise would crumble in a fortnight.
