The bank should have known immediantly if the check was bad and refused deposit.Sounds like a lazy teller to me.

Actually the teller did exactly what they should do, they verified the account and noticed the hold on the account, called the business and verified the check was not legit and then called the police. The police then arrested the person who presented the check as a suspect in alleged fraud. No laziness, no mistakes.

Let me guess who got these no-liability laws passed?

Obviously the financial institutions because they are easier to sue than the real fraudster that forged the check.

I have some Nigerian clients. So far, so good - but always a large retainer, up front!
