Some HFT DO front run (after all, they got caught).
But that is not what I was talking about even. I am talking about the firms that do spoofing, layering, etc...
Basically a lot of HFTs that instead of just doing "daytrading" style trades or arbitrage, attempt to influence the market in some way, hopefully making the spreads bigger and whatnot.
