House of mouse: Tax returns signed by unusual gloved hand Recipients of corporate tax returns in Rhode Island noticed something strange about the checks they received. Rather than get an ordinary check signed by the state treasurer and controller, these businesses got a paper check signed by none other than Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. Many of the recipients wondered if the checks were even valid due to the names, with more wondering exactly how this mixup could have even happened. Did Walt Disney rise from the dead? Did Mickey escape his home in Toontown to do some business in Rhode Island? As it turns out, the two names are just test signatures used as placeholders for internal documents, and they were mistakenly printed for real.
