I suspect it is not true.

They recorded a particle traveling faster than the speed of light. There isn't a computer that can execute a full trade faster than the speed of light; however it makes for good fantasy.

Re: HFT Breaks Speed-of-Light Barrier
I don't think they are the same things at all. The HFT technology probably just completely messed the exchange up or even they had two accounts they crossed in house with then the quoting account was behind a little. No idea why it happened really, but I'm pretty sure the delorian of hft hasn't just been invented either!!

What is interesting though is that the exchanges have had orders executed without first distributing quote data. That just can't be good.
