[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the woman who alerted someone to this, a black bank teller? I think that's what TMZ said. If so, this is not a karen situation. [/quote]  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. [/quote]

What an idiot. [/quote]

He's the idiot.  Look at the photos.

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

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 This is very common, folks, even if you yourselves have withdrawn more than 10 grand and weren't aware of any alert.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 Surprised he didn't just do that BUT also, it's not like it was $120,000, it was $12,000, and he probably has withdrawn that much with no issues before.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. [/quote]
