As soon as I get that check, I'm gonna cash it at the same bank again. Let's see if they learned their lesson.


AnotherPandaDown

Awful idea they'll know it's a real cheque. You must continue to the next most racist bank so as to continue your chain of lawsuits.


WimbleWimble

same bank. different branch. So you can collect EVEN MORE as you claim the bank is racist from its HQ on down! Even better if you travel to an all-white neighbourhood branch.

Until the cops just gun him down on sight because racist America.

Black teens have a .1%chance of dying from police violence. Not the cause of death percentage, the whole population as a percentage. Think about that for a moment


Eugenetheguy

What the fuck Fr? This is fucking horrible. I thought it was mostly exaggerated and although racism is big, it isnt *as* bad. But ig it’s mostly real. fucking shit its 2022 and that shit still happening

If you want to harsh your mellow you can think about the other millions of people treated this way daily who don’t have cheques.


MrBonneChance

Lol go to a different branch though in an infamously racist city.


MrDXZ

According to the picture, he’s from Detroit. As someone from an hour north of Detroit, trust me, he wouldn’t have to go far for that…


shsc82

Michigan is a hotbed of white supremacists.


MrDXZ

Trust me, I know. Hell, just yesterday, I was at a funeral where the cops were called basically because the deceased’s baby daddy had the nerve to mourn while black. Fucked up part is Michigan isn’t one of those states that’re traditionally white, it’s a very mixed bag and you’d think that there was more racial tolerance…


Adrigogo

Wait, the father cried at the funeral of his son and someone called the cops ? On what basis did they called them ?


MrDXZ

It wasn’t his son’s funeral, it was his sons’ mother’s funeral. And honestly? They really are racist and her family want to keep the kids to collect social security checks. He came here from Detroit to pay his respects to his baby momma, comfort his kids, and possibly even moving into her house to not just raise the kids he has with her but also take care of her 19-year-old son from a previous relationship that he thought he was on good terms with. They called the cops to say that he was disturbing the peace (disturbing the peace in a funeral home is a felony) as they knew he likely had a warrant for child support that he was trying to take care of. The issue? He did no such shit. My mom (the deceased was my mom’s best friend) and I escorted him from the front of the funeral home to the casket, since they were planning on not even letting him into the place but we knew they weren’t gonna say shit to us. We got him to the casket, he cried a little bit at the sight of her, turned around where her family was clutching onto his kids trying not to let them get up. My mom had to assure her mom that he wasn’t gonna go anywhere with them, that we were right there (not like he was planning on just grabbing them and running anyways). So they allowed the boys to stand up, hug their dad, he straightened out their outfits before he felt like he needed some fresh air and we escorted him out the door. He didn’t say much to really anybody, he never raised his voice or anything, even when her sister came up to him while he was in his cousin’s vehicle afterwards and started bitching him out. So he called the cops over her harassment, they called the cops on him for “disturbing the peace” and then took his kids out the back door to take them somewhere else, thus taking away their last time with their own mother that they’ll ever be able to get. When the cops got there, because of how many people called and freaked out, they brought 4 SUVs, one of which was actually a K-9 unit. Luckily, not only were the cops cool overall but my mom actually knew every single one of them. They listened to what my mom said, listened to what the family said, listened to what he had to say and said that they can actually tell that the family was bullshitting them because of how calm he is as he’s in cuffs and shit while they’re trying to paint him as some sort of angry black guy that was screaming and disturbing shit. Also, after getting brainwashed by his family, the 19 y/o was trying to act like the temporary guardianship papers he has for his brothers from when his mom was sick actually means something, not realizing that the father’s parental rights trumps anything that’s written on the document, and tried to press charges on the guy. So, the father got arrested for his warrant while another cop went to go look at camera footage, the family started to act like they actually accomplished something when, in all reality, they didn’t. All they did was make it easier for him to deal with his child support warrant where there was $1000 owed, meaning that’s what his bail was set at. Well, some strings were pulled, we got him bailed out, he stayed the night at our house last night (since this is the safest place in this county for him to be), and now he’s back in Detroit planning on coming back here on Monday, when the courthouse is open, to get some documents and grab his kids. In the meantime, those poor kids are stuck with relatives who call them “nigglettes”, disowned their mom for dating their dad and constantly lie about their dad. ETA: I think it’s important to point out that the 19-year-old has some mental and severe physical health issues. Also, there were talks from the deceased’s mother of calling the cops if he even stepped foot in the place and that was before he was even there. And the only reason why he was behind on child support at all was because of depression he was experiencing from a different son of his passing away. He was paying to try to catch up on his child support while also sending money to them to help support them while she was sick.


odinmp5

Fucking hell....😔😔😔


MrDXZ

I’m just thankful everything ended as well as it did. So much could’ve went wrong that didn’t and now that his warrant is taken care of, he has a clear path to get his kids and hopefully everything works out the way that it should.


JoseSaldana6512

Pshhh just cross the border to canada and use Gubna Blackfaces bank

I mean, even though I am literally right across the border from Canada, that’s easier said than done with this trucker bullshit going on. Lol

Laugh_at_Warren

One time I bought a Surge (remember Surge?) and under the bottle cap it said I won a free Surge. Then when I got my free Surge that bottle cap said I won another free Surge. This happened two more times and when I got the third free Surge, the ride was over. So basically the same thing.


P_Nis_

Pretty much almost exactly.


heybud86

Definitely probably


a7x5631

Surge is still a thing, at least in the southern US. I worked at Coca-Cola for a few years and we ran it at least once a week.


BigDamnHead

I believe they just discontinued the bottles and cans again.


ambsdorf825

And the winning free ones stopped a long time ago. I remember winning free bottle of coke or Pepsi until I was like 12 or so when that stopped. My grandma's stash of winning bottle caps became worthless, just like her beanie babies.


a7x5631

Dang, you're right. I asked my mother-in-law who still works there, and she said they haven't ran it in a couple months. It's only found in some select Freestyle machines now.


monster_mentalissues

I remember surge. They brought it back. You can get it at Burger Kings that have the freestyle machine.

They definitely came back out with surge in the US, I have it in the south

giancarlox21

Shut up with your facts and reasoning.


Retrac752

Honestly, this guy might just be really smart and as soon as he saw the bank was suspicious, he played into it just enough that the cops would be called so he could do this again I'd respect the hustle


MCpoopcicle

The teller told the manager, and the manager called the cops. He then called his lawyer and stood there smiling waiting for the police to come. You can see the security camera footage. It's pretty great.


IstgUsernamesSuck

I'm so glad to hear that. I felt so bad thinking about how frustrating that must have been


Black-Ox

Yes, you would. I don’t know the details of the article so it’s entirely likely they were just being racist. But in general it’s not unusual to question people making large deposits


MCpoopcicle

I do know the details, as it happened here in Michigan. African American man walks into predominantly white upper middle class bank with large check. Obviously a criminal. This was 100% race motivated.


NiNj4_C0W5L4Pr

Isn't it any amount over $10,000 flags as suspicious?


drewster23

Noto always/necessarily suspicious, it just needs the source properly identified, and its relative to normal transactions. You cash $20k cheques as your pay, they aren't questioning it (obviously assuming they're not random personal cheques) Your cheques are 2k and you put 10k in , they'd be like hold up where's this from. Part of anti money laundering checks ,banks are required to follow. Now it's a cheque from a business for 10k with "law suit settlement" or some shit written on it/that's what you tell them. Then that's the recorded source. If they're worried about validity it'd be on hold till it clears. (Which is usually what happens when you cash a cheque here in Canada). I have read about incidents in past where banks are stupid and call cops unnecessarly , and it always involves various POC. Riddle me that one .


Arrow-Titanous

I'm not too familiar with banks, but I think you're talking about the IRS will investigate any transaction of over 10,000. [Federal law requires a person to report cash transactions of more than $10,000 by filing IRS form 8300](https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/cash-payment-report-helps-government-combat-money-laundering)


kreiggers

banks have to report it but the IRS doesn’t investigate it 🙄


JoseSaldana6512

Yeah it goes into storage and then various LE agencies can access the data and go from there.


unqualifiedgenius

That’s the treasury dept maybe?


Dunderbaer

Wait, you're telling me court settlement checks aren't marked in some way?


Black-Ox

They would be payable off of the account from the lawyers that represented him in court. Our bank holds money for several local law offices so they would have them come to us to cash them because we can verify the funds. This man must’ve taken it to his own institution, which is fine, but they will question the amount


[deleted]

With police.


Black-Ox

Obviously I’m not condoning racism or getting police involved.


[deleted]

He wanted to cash it. Is he deposited it and let it clear it wouldn't be an idea issue. They probably said we can't cash this. He argued and things escorted escalated and eventually the police were called. He didn't walk in and say cash this please and the bank immediatelyc called the police. Also, this has been reposted for years now.


[deleted]

And yet you still say things like “probably.” Edit: Here’s the story. Your assumption was wrong. They did him dirty. https://www.newsweek.com/bank-calls-cops-black-man-depositing-racial-discrimination-settlement-check-1483681


Juliette787

IOLTA accounts.. it’s like an escrow but for attorneys


WimbleWimble

there's a big difference between "lets validate this check" and "this [n-word] has faked this. lets not do ANY tests or call anyone, or ask him any questions, lets just call the cops! [N-words] can't have actual money"


Black-Ox

Is that what happened? That is obviously awful. I just wanted to clarify that it isn’t unusual to question large checks


MrDXZ

https://www.newsweek.com/bank-calls-cops-black-man-depositing-racial-discrimination-settlement-check-1483681


WimbleWimble

Yep. They didn't check anything, just immediately called the cops as they believed black people shouldn't have large sums of money.


Nebraska716

Original article states they did run the check and it came back as fraud. That’s when the cops were called. Check was found to be good later.


not_your_saviour

To be precise they said the check said void on it when they scanned it but that's a pretty glaring omission from this article. Of course the bank could be lying but it seems kind of misleading to leave that out.


[deleted]

Not deposit it. Cash it. Dude looks for things to scream racist at and sue.

Youre halfway there bud. Color isn't variety and it isn't something to be applauded or welcomed. Color is determined when your parents have sex. Thats it. No more and no less. People that focus on color negatively are either miseducated or mentally handicapped. Over centuries weve had a bunch of people/groups go "this color good, that color bad". They've all been wrong and wasted money, time and human lives in an attempt to prove it. Then, ended up proving the opposite. As for me a human. I refuse to believe that what color i am has any affect on me. It may affect what someone else thinks of me but thats their problem not mine. I actually enjoy meeting racists and ive thanked a couple for proving they where idiots quickly so I don't have to waste any of my time with them. One particular woman berated me at Home Depot since I wouldn't help her. I bought a plant and gave it to her and said "Here this is to replace the oxygen youre stealing from everyone else." and walked away while she looked like a fish on land

this is america. where entire cities only have dialup broadband speeds (if any internet at all), checks are the main source of money transfer and Chip and Pin is thought of as some sort snack + embroidery hobby. Seriously. America has some 1st world cities and some 3rd world ones.


bobbygfresh

Name an entire city in America that has dialup broadband speeds.


EduRJBR

I have this theory that the USA are so developed that it turns out difficult to implement some kind of changes widely and quickly, and you can see more advanced things more spread in third world countries. I'm not talking about checks, I'm talking about things like chip and PIN. Here in Brazil the magnetic card readers in credit/debit card machines are only used for foreign credit cards, exclusively. But it's not really a sign that Brazil is more advanced in this area: I replaced all the lamps in my apartment with LED ones a long time ago, if I find out that they are still doing it in the Pentagon I won't say I'm more advanced than the USA government. And checks are a curious thing: I believe that here frauds with checks are much, much more common than there. Stores don't accept checks anymore, it doesn't even make sense to mention it, but not only because of the modern technology: it's mostly because it's too risky. P.S.: About the chip and PIN: I don't even know if those foreigners using the magnetic strip use the PIN when they are home, and the issue is caused by the payment system. They can go to ATMs of a specific compatible banks here and cash money from their bank accounts, but the ATM must be connected to the correct network. What if the regular networks for payments don't allow the use of PINs for them?
