Gain Made $18k in less than 1 minute by accidentally sniping mispriced ask

I put in a large market order this morning, and somehow bought 1.9k shares at 75 cents each while the stock was actually trading for ~10$

I cropped out the ticker because it has <300M MC, but had to share this because this is so unbelievably regarded that I think I might have bought off one of you guys.

TLDR: I stole someone's shares for 90% discount because they probably mis-entered their limit order.

Ive been on both sides of this trade. I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t get busted.
