Yikes, Sox. Good luck getting it all straightened out.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank you, Sox. Not for being defrauded, but for giving me something I can potentially help fix. I like doing this kind of stuff. Unfortunately, I can't fix cancer, which is frustrating, so jackass bank employees will feel the displaced rage and frustration (by proxy) instead.

Maria,
I wonder if Sox may need to file a police report?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sox, threaten them with filing a complaint to the governing regulatory agency. It's either going to be the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the FDIC.
Not knowing what happened or which bank is involved, I can't speak with certainty. But if the matter involves possible violation of any of a number of consumer protection laws, and the bank has more than $10 billion in assets, you'd want to go to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Note: $10 billion is fairly large as banks go, but not super-large.

It would not hurt, assuming the local authorities would be willing to take her complaint. She may be in a grey area, where regulatory remedies are pursued instead.

I just meant you may want to open up accts in a new place ASAP so you can be ready to bail as soon as you need to.
good point.

Yeah, jury is out on this so far. I'm still in this WTF place. Seriously? People can do this and feel that it's not a big deal?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sox, I'm afraid I'm not quite following what the heck is happening with your bank, other than it sucketh mightily for you. I'm glad you have Buffistas on your side.
IOGoodN, full body scan came back on DH--IT'S NOT IN HIS MAJOR ORGANS! Thank the sweet baby Jesus. We can use the break.
This? Makes me so happy.
Thank you all for being here. Daniel should be leaving about now - I was with him for several hours, then came home to recharge my batteries. I'll be driving up there later on.
ION, I haz a purring Harvey wedged tightly between me and the computer.
