So the computer discriminated against him?
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.
Ha!
