I just stopped shopping at Walmart and started shopping at local Mexican supermarket. Is that the reason WMT crashed?

In case you were wondering if insider trading exists, there were 13,000 WMT 130 puts traded today around $0.70 that expire Friday. They are now worth about $10.00. All other strikes have meaningless volume today.
