Without naming names, can you give us hint in which country or even on
which continent the non-US guys are based?
I can't separate the denials from the lies from the rumors.

TWO BUCKS a share!!! JPMorgan Acts to Buy Ailing Bear Stearns at Huge Discount
Yes, heard about the likely deal Friday--I worked for
many years at a part of what is now JP Morgan. One
thing driving the deal: At least two more are
brewing--don'
t be surprised to see two more in the
next week or so if the markets or interest rates do
anyting unusual--two are hanging on by a thread, only
one of which is US based....
Have a happy St Patty's day!
