I just did a quick search and found 2 articles mentioning AOL and Yahoo being used to communicate between traders and arrange sales - energy trading. One was 2014 and one was 2017 (when it looks like AIM went away and the traders went to other platforms). BTW - the fossil plant I worked at back then was in CA. I happened to be working in the datacenter the day that line was cut in AZ and threw San Diego (and a bunch of other places) into darkness. It was really nice being in the nice cool (and powered) datacenter...

Note - I didn't trade. I was network security. I only knew about it when I blocked AIM at the firewalls and IPSs and instantly had people in my office.
