Someone needs to give the IRS a primer on electronic funds transfers.
Mailing a check that size seems stupid.
They do it to catch the interest float.
When you mail check totaling in the billions the float is real money.
Trying to cash one does too. 😄
“”Mailing a check that size seems stupid.””
I don’t believe the article said that it was mailed. The article said no one knew HOW they came to be in possession of it..
Thinking that anyone other than a very certified officer of the company to which the check was made could do anything with it ... successfully ... is two or three orders of magnitude stupider.
