The fallout is huge.

Skimming through this thread, & from a few others, just some of the stocks that had fire sale crosssings or trading is suspected to have been adversely impacted by Opes:

(Article : http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23448118-25658,00.html)

ATG - Trading halt - possibly related to Opes
ADY - Ann made re Director Phil Thomas' margin loan with Opes of $2.85m

BMN - large trade at discount on close
