My guess is that the truth lies somewhere in between the stories, but this is from the article:
So, it seems like someone who mentioned earlier that he insisted on getting some cash back immediately with this check and the bank balked on it.
Does the public realize how many shady checks are attempted to be deposited, cashed everyday at every bank?

They added that they take extra precautions with large deposits and requests for cash, and in this case, they couldn’t validate Thomas’ checks.

Another article
quote:
According to police, the bank's computer system read the checks as fraudulent.
quote:
He said the checks Thomas presented displayed a watermark that read VOID when they were scanned in a web viewer.
quote:
According to TCF's Wennerberg, Thomas presented three checks written from Enterprise that day: One for $59,000. One for $27,000. And one for $13,000.
"They couldn't verify that those checks were due to a settlement," said Wennerberg, adding the bank contacted Enterprise to verify that the checks were part of a lawsuit, but were unable to do so.
quote:
Wennerberg said the assistant manager who waited on Thomas was African American, and felt that something didn't "look right," so she called police.
quote:
According to Wennerberg, Thomas wanted to deposit the two larger checks in his bank account, which, Wennerberg said, had only 52 cents in it. And he wanted to cash the $13,000 check, he said, adding the bank told him that those funds would be on hold for two business days, and that Thomas said "fine." Thomas also wanted a new debit card because, he told the bank, his old one wasn't working, he said, adding that request sounded unusual as well.
And many more

The article says that the bank launched a fraud investigation...which means that they probably completed a Suspicious Activity Report and possibly filed it with FinCEN. Did dude initiate that too?
Depending on how the dude tried to pass the checks, it could have absolutely warranted a SAR, and FinCEN will be involved if any CTR is filed as well

Love all the bankers in here dropping names. Make sure that narrative is Who, What, Where, When and Why.

Get out of here with facts.
I especially like the fact that the employee in question is also black.
Banks are under extreme scrutiny about fraud. Employees must take every precaution and err on that side. If not, it's their job. Plain and simple. Management will not accept monetary discrepancies with the books or someone is losing a job.

Figured there was more to the story. There are always details left out in most of these events.

You are just saying that because she is an African American.

Something else was afoot here. And in my opinion there’s only one thing – banking while black,” said Thomas’ attorney, Deborah Gordon.
Is Deborah talking about her client or the black assistant manager who actually called the cops after
having concerns about the customer? or both?

I'd accuse her of "lawyering while having man hands".

And how would you get clarity? Would you call the issuer of the checks, or would you just jump to dialing 911?

quote:They aren’t “the same” because racism is a specific form of prejudice, like a square is a specific form of a rectangle.
The Liberals/SJW/Media have blended the two and made them the same, which they are not.
quote:Adolph Hitler is not the same as Archie Bunker because one committed genocide and one is a fictional character from a sitcom who made crude comments about people instead of committing genocide against them.
Prejudice = Archie Bunker/George Jeferson
Racist = Adolf Hitler/Malcolm X
Definitely not the same thing.
But the severity of their actions against groups has nothing to do with terms that are based on their beliefs about those groups and the motivations for their actions.
