Profiling. The guy had bounced checks before, was black in a white area, and had an African name. He set off all kinds of red flags, which is fine, but acting on them without checking out his story was illegal and wrong. To clarify, he has a West African name. Things like this are one of the lesser publicized consequences of the massive numbers of internet and fake check scams originating from West Africa. As usual, it is the honest, hard working people that pay for the fact that criminals have ruined their own countries' reputations to the point that legit West African businesses are often spurned right off by businesses and potential customers in other nations, and students/ immigrants from Nigeria and Ghana (as well as citizens with West African names) are often treated with suspicion right off by banks, landlords and potential employers. Said criminals, of course, couldn't give a fuck less. That said, the 'Chase customer banker who handles large checks' fucked up BIG time and I hope for their sake that Chase fires her stupid ass before she cashes a $150,000 fake check presented by a white guy named Dwight Smith because it 'looks real' As for Chase, they are pretty much in the shit now that the story is public. Hopefully, the legal action and publicity will force Chase to, however unwillingly, do right by Mr. Njoku.
