One Lawsuit To Another: Man Wins Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Then Has Cops Called On Him When Trying To Cash It At The Bank!

Sauntore Thomas sued his employer for racial discrimination and secured a confidential settlement. When he tried to cash his settlement at TCF bank, they called the cops on him. Despite having an account at the bank for almost two years, the bank thought Thomas’s settlement funds were fraudulent, citing a “VOID” watermark on the checks that suspiciously wasn’t an issue when he walked over to a Chase bank and opened a new account and cashed the check on the spot. But even if the check aroused suspicion for some understandable reason — which there’s not a great reason to concede — immediately calling the cops evinces a hair-trigger unwillingness to believe and willingness to raise the stakes up to 11 for a black patron.
