He was probably wearing a mask.

Next thing you know, this BLM scoundrel will probably be tearing tags off mattresses!

Probably concerned about the monitoring of transactions over $600. If the teller counted is discreetly he might have been okay. And, where did the $12 grand come from anyway? Must pay pretty good to be a black panther director. Do they employ a diversity director? Equity director? Equality director? Tranny compliance director?

Let me ask this: can _anyone_ withdraw $12,000 in cash from their account (if they have the balance) and _not_ raise a teller’s suspicions?

I would like to think you could. But with the IRS ready to monitor bank transactions in the $600 range, I wouldn’t be surprised if people are already limited in the amount they can take out in cash in one withdrawal as it is.

But was she breast-feeding in public?

Predictable.
There should be no apology. There were two. We can safely predict that this person will sue the bank and get more than $12,000. This is privilege, and I’m not talking about White Privilege.

If an old Whitey had done this, dementia in play, he would now be in a cell wondering what happened.

He's the director of the (Marvel) movie Black Panther, and its sequel, not an official of the Black Panther organization. Pretty sure he was paid millions for that job alone.

I agree. The irony is that in his zeal to appear inconspicuous, he brought a lot of attention to himself.
_____________________________

it’s a set up to get a big payday from B of A.

Did he fill out a withdrawal slip? Did he provide his account number?

Did he provide any explanation at all to the pregnant teller?

He will file a lawsuit next week and B of A will fall all over themselves in trying to get money into this guy’s hand.

They will then fire the pregnant teller because she is not one of them. She is pregnant and did not get an abortion so she must be pro life. So with this defamation against this black individual was just too much for these woke Karens to take. Toast.

Sounds to me he was setting up a deep pocket grifting scam.

What happened to filling out a withdrawal slip and saying: “I would like to withdraw $12,000 from my account?”

He did. All I can figure is that the teller was afraid it wasn't his account.

Should have just asked for ID.

Why not just fill out a withdrawal slip? Too many flags on this one. A test run?

That's exactly what he did

I see the problem. He wrote in the area where it says not to write in that area. /s

I doubt that. He's the director of one of the most profitable films of all time. He probably just didn't want any would-be robbers to know he was carrying 12 grand in cash. Oops.

Yeah. He’s known in Atlanta, uses sunglasses for the cover, etc. The world is full of dumb people. He’s high net worth, taking 12g out wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. Goes back to know your client, banking 101.
