What mistake did the bank make?

The bank should have known immediantly if the check was bad and refused deposit. Sounds like a lazy teller to me. Having one of their customers, who was basically an innocent party, arrested was their second mistake. Let me guess who got these no-liability laws passed?

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.

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