thanks, roger.
i've forwarded this to a coworker from our business department who is trying to enhance what we have posted already.
i know there is a lot of chatter out there about why mainstream media are "ignoring" the story .... problem is that the suit was filed late on a friday, in .d.c. no less, and now it's a saturday, when most newspapers and other media have only the tiniest of staffs, government offices are closed down, and sources -- especially on stories like this -- are especially hard to reach.
but we're trying!
thanks again for your help.

Paulson Warned Washington Mutual to Sell, Seattle Times Reports
By Joel Rosenblatt
Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson warned former Washington Mutual Inc. Chief Executive Officer Kerry Killinger to sell the thrift to JPMorgan Chase & Co. two months before WaMu failed, the Seattle Times reported.
``Paulson said, `You should have sold to JPMorgan Chase in the spring, and you should do so now. Things could get a lot more difficult for you,''' the Times reported, citing a WaMu executive familiar with Paulson's call that it didn't identify.
Earlier this year, JP Morgan offered $8 per share for WaMu, the Times said. JPMorgan acquired WaMu's branch network Sept. 25 for $1.9 billion after the Seattle-based thrift was seized by regulators, the newspaper reported.
Killinger was surprised by Paulson's call because Washington Mutual had raised $7.2 billion from private equity investors, which WaMu executives believed was enough to survive the mortgage crisis, according to the Times.
