Larch check? Oh...wasn't that an old Monty Python sketch?

Yeah. Either they are idiots at that bank, or we’re not getting the whole story. Usually a bank will happily deposit a check, for any amount. But if it is large enough, they won’t allow you to withdraw the money until the check clears.
That’s how those nigerian scams work. You cash their big check and take “some” of it out to pay them back, except after about a week to ten days, it’s proven to be fake, and the bank “undoes” the deposit and you’re stuck with the bill.
It’s not about race. It’s about how banks deal with larch checks. Also, if you don’t have an account there, fuggetaboutit.
The guy wanted $13,000 in cash that day. The bank said he could have his money in 3 days, and he had a cow. The bank went out of their way trying to find anyone at Enterprise to confirm that the checks were legitimate and he couldn’t point them to anyone. Anyone who has seen “Catch Me If You Can” knows this whole deal looks just like a check fraud scheme and the bank had to take the position they did. And, because he was being disruptive, they ended up calling the police or face other problems trying to “handle it themselves.”
This is BS and it should be tossed. The guy created his own problems and as he was just rewarded for doing this by Enterprise, its pretty easy to see why.
Have to wonder just how many discrimination lawsuits he’s had and how many payouts he’s received

My first reaction is that the guy also needs counseling on how to invest and save for the future, but it sounds like $13K is a fraction of the total settlement and he wanted it to buy a 2004 Durango, showing the guy is hardly inclined to be a spendthrift. I have no knowledge of the quality and value of the pickup that he was purchasing, but if that is what he wants, it is not my job to question his decision.
