[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deposit a check.

“First, the Detroiter sued his employer alleging racial discrimination in a lawsuit that settled confidentially. Then he went to the bank this week to cash his settlement checks, but the Livonia bank refused to cash or deposit his checks. Instead, they called the cops and initiated a fraud investigation — actions that dumbfounded Thomas and his lawyer, triggering another lawsuit.

On Wednesday, Thomas sued TCF Bank for alleged race discrimination, saying the Livonia branch mistreated and humiliated him by calling four police officers when all he was trying to do was deposit legitimate checks. According to police, the bank's computer system read the checks as fraudulent.”

Wait, are computers racist?  Because if the system triggered a fraud alert on the checks, then this had nothing to do with race. [/quote]

It was the actions of the people around the computer that presented the issue. A check cut on a one-off basis will not look the same as a payroll check, and someone who works at the bank knows that. He said it was from a settlement from a lawsuit and provided his lawyer’s card so they could call her. His lawyer is a prominent lawyer in Detroit. His lawyer apparently faxed over documents from the federal settlement and that still wasn’t good enough. We ALL know if Karen had taken those checks in there, few or no questions would be asked, OR they would have cashed the checks after the lawyer sent over the docs.

I googled his name yesterday - top ten in the results were his lawsuits from reputable legal sites.  Idiots. Good for him - he’ll get another big check for this BS.[/quote]
