    It's a unix issue.

    unix and some databases store their dates as an "epoch date" which is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970.
    If a date field ends up as just zeros, that date would get interpreted as Jan 1, 1970 00:00 GMT. And when it gets adjusted to your particular time zone, that throws it back into the previous day, hence dec 31, 1969. I've seen my ?usage on a different biller come out to Dec 31, 1969 before.

      the timestamp is a number, so 1969 means -1, which usually means an error happened somewhere
