Yes a Black pregnant Bank Teller. She fu&ked up. Apparently, she was processing the transaction and some sort of alert popped up on her screen because of the amount. So instead of calling her supervisor over to deal with the alert, she told her supervisor he was robbing the bank. The cops investigated and said she was at fault.

What an idiot.

My husband was mistakenly detained (not arrested) for bank robbery in 2011 right here in MoCo. Our vehicle matched the getaway vehicle, including out of state license plates. Both the suspect and my spouse were Latinos.

It was a huge ordeal until it was straightened out.

What relevance does this have to the situation being discussed?

it's more than his skin color here.

He's the idiot. Look at the photos.

He should have asked to speak to the bank manager. This wasn't about race.

Usually withdrawal slips are not used for such high amounts. You request to speak to the bank manager about the account and go to a private office.

I've worked with corporations in accounting and banks like WF/BOA actually have private business offices where they take high profile clients. These are unidentified SEPARATE facilities from the public walk-in-from-the-street banks that you see publicly identified. Unfortunately if you've never worked in the situation (as a low level financial peon sent to get cash) or come from a wealthy background, you wouldn't know about that either.

Except it's not anything like your situation. There was no matching description from an actual bank robbery, no out of state license plate, no freaky coincidence. Just an idiot teller reporting an attempted withdrawal as a robbery.

Agree, but even so, anyone can walk in and request to go to a private office. Even if you do not know the procedure. I'm just a regular nobody and I've done it a few times.

That's not how most withdrawals are conducted.

A black teller reported a black customer for suspicious activity. Her concerns were valid.

Making a withdrawal with a withdrawal slip is not idiotic. Asking that the money count not be done loudly in public is not idiotic. Wearing a medical mask (not a bank robber mask) during a pandemic is not idiotic.

He's a client of this bank. He didn't do anything wrong, the teller did.

He didn't even fill out the slip correctly. Give me a break

The photos are posted on the last page. I don't see anything in those photos that make him the idiot. The teller was at fault according to the police.

NP. The teller was at fault for identifying it as an attempted robbery. But let's not ignore the fact that the bank's systems automatically flagged the transaction for special attention because it was over $10,000. This is very common, folks, even if you yourselves have withdrawn more than 10 grand and weren't aware of any alert. In banking, taxes, transport of cash internationally (like carrying more than 10k with you overseas, and yes, it happens)--that amount gets flagged for attention. Mostly you aren't even aware it's happening. Of course the fact it was something as specific as $12,000 and the wording of the slip should have been a clue that this wasn't a robbery but I wondered: The teller sounds possibly inexperienced, or possibly she had been present at a real bank robbery another time and was unwittingly biased to see such a request as a robbery etc. Not excuses but possible explanations.

I myself find it odd that a high-profile client wanting that amount of cash "discreetly" didn't simply ask to see a banker. No super secret room needs to be involved like some PPs posted; just ask to see a banker, you'll go to a desk or into a regular office, and can say what you want. They'll go out and deal the tellers for you and bring you the cash. Surprised he didn't just do that BUT also, it's not like it was $120,000, it was $12,000, and he probably has withdrawn that much with no issues before. It's just a pity that the teller reacted with the idea of robbery instead of asking a manager to come look at the note there and then.

And the bolded is exactly why the bank teller was found to be at fault. She had his account number. So she thought, oh he's robbing money from his own account? Somebody make it make sense.

Yes, most withdrawals are conducted by handing the teller a withdrawal slip with all of your account information on it. Her concerns were very clearly not valid, given the fact that no robbery was attempted and her employer has had to effusively apologize for her mistake.

What are you talking about? Those pictures only show the back of the slip. There's nothing to fill out on the back, which is why he wrote his request there. You can't see the information on the front.

Something tells me you've been given too many breaks.

+1. I wouldn't have known this because of a non-wealthy background not to mention I try to never ever use cash (adhd with a bad history of losing cash and checks). And it's really infuriating when people judge others (especially minorities) for these "unwritten" rules.
