What’s odd is that some sort of deal must have gone through days ago. My wife sent someone a check through WaMu online bill pay about a week ago. They told us that they received a hard paper check today, dated Sept. 19, with JP Morgan’s logo on it. No mention of WaMu anywhere. September 19! I remember once Bill Maher said he doesn’t believe conspiracy theories because they assume that people are smart and can keep secrets. I used to agree. Obviously something happened behind closed doors a week ago and is being hidden from the public. Does anyone else find this alarming?
