Could the biggies like Comsec, Macquarie or some of the wise guys from
America or Switzerland be running dark pools etc?

Would this explain bids or offers dissapearing into cyberspace as soon
as one's order is placed?

I'm just in a few chapters into the book but I'm curious as to whether these
shenanigans are happening on the ASX and what other's experiences have been.
