Of Course Bear Stearns Is Being Sued For Telling JPM It Could Buy 383 Madison Without Getting Permission From The Land Owner First!

By Bess Levin

Would you recognize the place if *hadn’t* breached its agreement to give 383 Madison LLC, the proprietor of the property, the right to make the first offer on the building, before entering into a contract that provided JPMorgan an irrevocable option to purchase the building, regardless of whether or not the deal to create Bearpont Morgan Chase goes through? I submit you would not.* Also, hilariously, JPM has been named a defendant in the suit. Will they be dragged into the mêlée brewing between BSC and Vermont Teddy Bear, the manufacturer of the surprisingly popular “BSC Bear”? Stay tuned!

*I can say that because we sent free food to several of BSC’s finest this afternoon.

    pretty sure I raised this (and/or similar questions) when this was announced…the question is who ‘owns’ 383 madison though…

    The Catholic Church is an “it” not a “they”.

    The remark about the Bear Stearns teddy bear marketed by Vermont Teddy Bear made me laugh.
