    Quantum Entanglement Heist Idea

    Theme: superfast money trading level is like quantum foam
    Tone: Logan Lucky meets The Big Short

    ---

    QTeam is motley collection of small business startup entrepreneurs.
    Each has special skill they have turned into a business.

    Their shared Investor gathers them together and they all float on stock market. (Stock Market exposition - standard cable length)

    They are instantly all made super rich.

    BUT Freak chaotic market wipes out all their company stock.

    They are instantly all made super poor and their businesses are bankrupt.
    All back to square 1.

    BUT Investor (Nemesis) is revealed to have bet against them and orchestrated their downfall.

    Revenge Plot: Lots of funny physical stuff & stock market & quantum mechanics theory laying pipe.

    Finale:

    QTeam breaks into New York Stock Exchange to swap their own trading machine for Nemesis's trading machine but they bungle it.

    They just manage to finish when the cops arrive and yank the machine off.
    Cops reinstate Nemesis's trading machine.

    They are arrested for breaking and entering and have to do community service for 'small' crime.

    They all move to Augusta, Australia on the other side of the world and are forbidden from ever connecting to the internet again.

    BUT the trading machine was a red herring.

    What they actually did was replace the standard length cable with a special 'quantum' wire.

    The cable's beginning is quantum entangled with the end of another cable in Augusta, Australia, plugged into another trading machine.

    So the 'distance' between the ends of the cables is more like an inch.

    Which means they can make superfast trades faster than anyone.

    And the Nemesis's trading machine is circumvented.

    They are instantly all made super rich forever.

    Resources:

    "What happened is when NYSE first allowed [traders] to collocate in the [same building], people started to get into pissing matches over the length of their cables. Just to give you an idea, a foot of cable equates to one nanosecond, which is a billionth of a second. People were getting into pissing matches over a billionth of a second.

    NYSE measured the distance to the furthest cabinet, which is where people put their servers. It was 185 yards. So they gave every [high-frequency trader] a cable of 185 yards."
