he placed low value bid/offers via CFD platforms that were hedged onto the order book by the providers. This moved the spread either way and he took the opposite side via the SB, closing out when the spread returned to normal.
Its because the SB don't note the volume on the order when its filled, just the movement. You would need to have a CFD account that was auto hedged, ie you are have a good track record.
His mistake in my opinion was to use third party SB accounts that he controlled - it makes it look very iffy. other than that its just how the mm's operate without the need to create liquidity in a share.
Many thanks
