As he sits in the Bell County Jail, accused of the Nov. 5 Fort Hood shooting that left 13 dead, Maj. Nidal Hasan continues to receive his monthly U.S. Army paycheck, which based on his rank and experience is probably more than $6,000.
That's standard procedure for soldiers who are confined before military trial, according to Army officials.
But Hasan, charged with a shooting spree that shocked the country, is not a standard defendant. And he's having a hard time finding a bank to take his money.
According to his civilian attorney John Galligan , Bank of America notified Hasan last month that it was closing his account and no area bank so far has agreed to open an account for the Army psychiatrist. Military regulations require soldiers to be paid through direct deposit, making a bank account indispensable.
"I think it's just another example of the prejudice that he's been exposed to," Galligan said. "It's money that he's entitled to, that he has a right to."

He carried out his mission, didn’t he? So Obama pays him for a job well done.
Yeah... I guess until he is convicted at which time they can fine him everything he has ever been paid and then shoot him.
Uhhh .. Johnnie ... he's getting a piece of paper ... not money.
It is the absolute right of any bank to refuse questionable paper.
YOU know the routine ... the check's in the mail and I won't ....
That rushing sound you hear is the river I’m crying for this poor sumbitch.
Rot in Hell murdering moslem.
Oh bullshit, that SOB MUSLIM should have been reduced to E-1 without pay per his commander.
I’m sure the folks who drone on and on about Abu Grahbe and Gitmo will be screaming about this soon enough. DAMN YOU AMERIKKKA!!!!
Can’t find a bank anywhere in the Yewess of Aye to process the things? I thought there were more than enough banks in the hands of demon-rats and Moose-slims to address this issue. What’s the worse that happens, the gummit gets an order to vacuum the funds back out.
My guess is the banks don’t want to be caught in the middle when he starts trying to wire money out of the country... to perhaps help his buddies in Saudi Arabia/Afghanistan/etc.
They won’t take his paychecks? Do I denote religious bigotry raising its ugly head yet again?
He’s gotta paid for doing jihad, ya know!
For once, having paper issued that is worthless as a representation of currency is something I can get behind. 100%
Ooorah.
I think there is a Nigerian Minister of Interior that can arrange for a transfer of funds.
Best thing I’ve read about Bank of America in years.
Pay-Backs....
Hey I’m a fair minded kind of guy. I’ll redeem them, 10 cents on the dollar.
I think he in also entitled to one last round of military issue ammo.
It's much too sad, serious to laugh out loud at what is an utter parody of the truth the likes only of a scum-sucking snake-pit such as CAIR could utter with a straight face.
