In the midst of this late-September drama, the Treasury Department issued a five-sentence notice that attracted almost no public attention.

The article cited, at the link given, is as quoted.

The article, however, gives no clue as to what the "five sentences" actually said. Multiple links in the article are the "automatically inserted" kind that some sites provide, in case you don't know what a term means, or want some info about a named person or agency, but after clicking them all just to make sure, I still don't know what those five sentences said.

The author, Amit R. Paley, is noted as a "Washington Post Staff Writer." I was not aware that sophomore journalism students (High School variety) were "staff writers" at this prestigious(?) publication.

It ain't "news" unless it is based on verifiable FACTS. There is lots of inuendo, but NO TRACEABLE EVIDENCE to substantiate the foaming-mouthed ranting in the article. Lots of people are "quoted" but there is not a single link or other citation leading to actual comments by any person speaking to the subject claimed to be found in the article - or at any of the links from the article.

Does anyone have a source that actually says what happened to elicit Mr(?) Paley's rant?
