And I say this as someone who neither went in on this deal nor knew about it before this debacle.

So what might be the motivation for releasing news of a failed internal control into the wild and assuring a flood of transactions would follow? You can be sure that somebody was printing alot of money before this failed control went public.
One would hope that the birdmen of bankville are looking into the source of the internal control failure. The best way to rob a bank is to own a bank, or at least maintain tables and code for a bank.

Probably true. MMS is arguably guilty of trying to profit off the sinking ship, but he's not the reason the deal is dead -- it's the original P2P blog post (as the blog author knew full well when she published the post). As soon as these kinds of deals get out in the wild, they're already terminal...and it's particularly irritating when the person who breaks the news knows that's the case.
And I say this as someone who neither went in on this deal nor knew about it before this debacle.

how do you know I am NOT chase?
what if this was just planned to suss out who in the universe spends like we spend and does what we do, so they can not only win on this gig before release/kill, but also control the next gigs?
Do we all now know to be very wary of anything bancorp?

Also for the record, I dont think Chase--or any Cc cared about this. Just as they really didnt when we all hit OD for VRs last year.
