Another case of big banks, corporate Amerika.... screwing the public by their own inefficiencies. Fees up the gazoo.... At Bancamerika they want six bucks to cash a check made out to me on a corporate check.... Any sense in that? The total lack of common sense today in American business is mindboggling...... I hope this guy gets tens of millions from Chase...

I'm hoping that the lawyer's letter was delivered by a process server, along with a summons and complaint asking for at least $10 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

Although it probably is a true story, the chain of events has a ring of "internet urban legend" to it.
Goes to bank, banker suspects fraud, customer decides to leave bank to run errand WITHOUT his check or license, calls for info, returns next day, is arrested for fraud, car gets towed same day, sold at auction apparently within a week, lost his job...did I leave anything else out?

Customer decides to leave to run an "errand", but article doesn't state that he left WITH the check and his ID which the banker had taken to "verify" the check.
Shows up the next day an is arrested. Gee, I didn't know that Auburn had NCIS working for their banking industry, and was able to PROVE bank fraud overnight?
Car gets towed and auctioned off. Gee, I thought you had to wait 30 days before you could auction a vehicle, but I guess Auburn has their own laws governing that.
Lost his job? Any employer worth their weight in salt would stand behind thier employee if the employee was innocent and had been through this kind of ordeal.

All in all it sounds a little too much to have happen to one person at one time, but you can never tell.
If it is a completely legit story, I hope he retains legal council and sues the bank for every cent he can get, and then sues the bank teller on civil rights violations and has that person lose their job!
Hey, maybe Chase can pick up the tab on his house and a BRAND NEW car as an apology AFTER they lose their multimillion dollar lawsuit?
