I’m as anti-lawyer as anyone.

But, methinks this fellow should sue...big time!

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Time to lawyer up and sue the everliving piss outta all involved in this mans unlawful arrest. The bank, the tellers who made the fraud call on the check, the police,,, everyone....

They must have thought the guy was named “Washington Mutual”. I would say much more about chase, but I would hear from their lawyers. Watch it!

Chase is gonna be sorry they lost his business when he gets his money from his uncle the Nigerian Finance Minister.

I think Chase may be taking some of that mortgage bill away. If not, i hope he gets the bank staff involved a free three day weekend in jail for their part of this.

[Real Cynic No More]

Something really smells here, if all his lawyer did was write a letter and not file a multi-million dollar lawsuit for false imprisonment, loss of his job, false swearing, etc. There is the possibility of even a criminal suit re the false imprisonment issue. The police are culpable as well for taking the word of a possibly PMS-stricken bank teller without any kind of evidence to back up the arrest.I sense some racial profiling here as well.

Something really smells.

Well, sounds like he did bounce some checks in the past.

On general principles, I don’t like lawsuits. But in this gentleman’s case, I make an exception.

IMHO, if he files suit, takes in front of a jury, and said jury award his Fifteen Gazillion Bajillion Dollars, I’m all for it.

Or, better yet, enough money to buy Chase Bank. Vengeance is a dish best served cold (Old Klingon Proverb).

Banks can't find ownership documents for the homes to which they hold mortgages.
Banks can't recognize the validity of the checks that they issue themselves.

But don't worry -- our financial system is sound as a dollar!!

A year? Ain’t very bright, is he, if he’s just now thought... Hey, I should talk to a lawyer...

[Ingtar]

It would be amusing if Chase ends up using an argument that the man has no standing as an illegal alien. I’ve seen the way they make money off of illegals, so if someone at the bank saw his name and made an assumption...

You got that right! They are so connected with this administration that every time a staffer opens their mouth, a little Chase runs down their chin from the inability for them to swallow fast enough.

Advice for Mr. Njoku:

When you get your big settlement check from Chase, go to a different bank to cash it.

[Bob]

Well, sounds like he did bounce some checks in the past.

So? Overdrawing your account doesn't excuse this sort of treatment, especially since the questioned check was generated by the very bank that he was trying to cash it at.

[blackdog]

Take it to the same bank, same teller, and fill out one deposit slip for today, and offer them a mulligan. Do it on a tuesday and pray it’s a two-fer.

[Kartographer]

Just another ‘dead beat’ trying to extort money from a poor put upon bank. Maybe they can get him locked up again but this time under the jail so they won’t have to deal with him.

Didn’t he have a friend at Chase? I thought everybody has a friend at Chase.

our financial system is sound as a dollar

that is a scary thought
