JPM still HAS to pay book value IMO, proof...

It is from 1985 but I think it explains exactly what the bid price of $1.88 bln. means. It was only a purchase premium! Not a purchase price, but a purchase premium. Thast's why JPM has chosen that number (year of WaMus foundation), they could also have chosen 2 bln. or 3 bln. because it didn't really matter because they knew they have/had to purchase the assets from "Schedule 3.2" separately at book value/market value and won't get all Assets (upper case!) according to the P&A, and have to pay for it!

JPM did NOT get everything for $1.88 bln. IMO

The FDIC had to accept the bid because it was less expensive for them in comparaison to a deposit payoff.

Did this still apply in 2008? Any opinions?
