Ugh.
If that is what they said, they were full of it.

There is no such thing as a WaMu check any more and nobody has doubts about the capitalization of JPMC.

I can tell you from personal experience (not because I've done it myself but because I have been involved in training tellers on holds policies) that a great portion of the time when tellers give a concrete reason for a hold being placed on a deposit it is just something made up to get the customer to go away without getting too angry. Most of the time the tellers have no solid idea why a hold is placed.
