Yea....Timber Hill is owned by Thomas Petterffy, founder of Interactive Brokers, and handles much of the options order flow from IB users. So...IB may not be making money off those trades, but the founder is still profiting from them. Don't get me wrong, as someone who has followed market structure for years, I don't think that IB is doing anything worse than anyone else, but they aren't innocent in this regard.
