The WaMu name on the 5,000-seat theater at Madison Square Garden is likely to change because of the seizure of Washington Mutual by federal regulators on Thursday.
The nation’s largest savings and loan — which came to symbolize the excesses of mortgage lending — was sold almost in its entirety to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion.
There was no word on Friday if the Chase name — which is also on the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball stadium in Phoenix — will replace WaMu or if it will go without a name until another corporation makes a deal.

Hard not to gloat, isn’t it? I suppose Dimon better not laugh too loudly, however. Or the Citi clan, for that matter. You people could be next.

    Mayo stands for Mayo Shattuck III, the former Alex. Brown banker, who became an energy trader when he took over Constellation Energy.
