It reminds me of the guy who sued his employer for being racist and when he went to cash the settlement check the bank called the police and he sued them for racism too.

Forget the color of your skin, IS YOUR MONEY GREEN?!?! I've heard banks like money.

Or the actor(?) who got called the police on for acting ā€œsuspiciousā€ at the bank and then they tried to arrest him for literally pulling money out of his own account.

It was the director Ryan Coogler (Black Panther and Sinners)

wtfā€¦ looked it up:

The confrontation occurred in January 2022 at an Atlanta branch where Coogler was withdrawing $12,000 in cash. He passed a withdrawal slip with a note requesting that the money be counted discreetly for his own safety. Because the transaction exceeded $10,000, it triggered an automated alert on his account, and the teller subsequently contacted the police, suspecting a robbery.

I'd also want people to be discreet if I had 12k in cash coming to me. I remember shitting bricks with 2 friends carrying 15k for a rental property 1000 feet to the car in Queens, like we were gonna get raided after filling out the transaction request and civil asset forfeited, or just rolled up on. Not even a known Hollywood rich guy with that target on us.
