Why would you think it was NOT a robbery? He's wearing a mask.
Note passing while black?
Evidently it wouldn’t have happened has the cashier not been pregnant...?
Did he provide an account number?
If he gave the details required to make a withdrawl, then the teller over-reacted.
If he just gave a note for $12,000, then they did the right thing.
What happened to filling out a withdrawal slip and saying: “I would like to withdraw $12,000 from my account?”
Why would you think it was NOT a robbery? He's wearing a mask.
Its none of your GD business.
“It remains unclear why he needed $12,000”
It remains unclear to me why it’s anyone’s business why I withdraw cash from my account...
Asking *them*? Pregnant woman and her unborn child?
I’m confused. Coogler wanted money from the pregnant tellers account or his own? It’s hard to know what’s going on when you have to take trans-genders into account.
It’s never a good idea for a customer to pass the Teller an unexpected written note about anything at all.
If you have a comment or question, speak up and tell her.
Do NOTHING that may seem suspicious.
You know the drill, or should know!
You don’t want to end up like that poor Sap in Woody Allen’s movie Take The Money & Run, where a robber passes a stick up note to the cashier, but the note is so poorly written, she cannot even read it and asks for help.
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.
Sorry. I didn’t mean to ruin your Black Panther Party.

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.
Sounds to me he was setting up a deep pocket grifting scam.
Total. Set. Up.
This wouldn’t have happened in Feb (Jan date), the indoor mask mandate for Atlanta was lifted in Feb.
He’ll be making some huge bank deposits very soon after his lawyers get through with BOA...
His “note” request was very reasonable... At least here behind enemy lines in Maryland it is...
For large BOA cash transactions, I always ask to speak to the bank’s manager and conduct the whole business at his desk...
It’s unclear why he wanted the cash -AND- why he wanted it done ‘discretely’...
I am guessing it was exactly what they suspected- but the wording of a ‘note’ was giving himself wiggle room. Or lawsuit bait.
You want a withdrawal, HAND HER A WITHDRAWAL SLIP.
I know exactly what he was asking. I had what he was concerned about actually happen to me. With a number of people milling about in the bank lobby, I had a young lady teller start counting out each and every $100 bill and loudly asking if I wanted a larger manila envelope to hold “all that money”? And I’m scouting the lobby and the exits, scanning faces, looking for potential trouble. Seriously, WTF?
The cops should have waited to see if he completed the withdrawal legally. Or just ran out with the money.
But hindsight is 20/20
