I find it interesting that everyone is presuming this is an accident.

If something like this were to happen in cyberpunk RPG the players would assume that with a billion dollars on the line the hedge fund had either hired a hacker or suborned a Citibank employee in order to make certain they got paid. (As a hedge fund, lawyering up to hang onto the money once you have it is comparatively cheap.

Games do tend to have more interesting storylines than "oh its just people being stupid again."

IRL, Hanlon's razor often works.
