Racist Film Director Arrested For Trying To Rob Bank

[AzogtheDefiler]

How should he have let the teller know he didn’t want her counting the cash in front of everyone?

He was obviously nervous about carrying a large amount of cash. He knew better than to flash your cash in public.

If he said out loud….Do not count the cash out in public
It would be announcing to everyone that you were expecting a large amount of cash

So, he wrote it in a note

Was the teller not black also? So racism isn't in play but poor training or a nervous teller? Right?

Like I said earlier

The teller will go to the manager and voice her concerns
The manager will decide to call the cops

If he showed his Drivers License, I don’t see why they would call the cops

Interesting. I bank with BAML and have never seen one with notes.

I believe that. But this teller was clearly out of line. But tellers should be hypersensitive. The manager should probably be disciplined.

'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler speaks out after being mistakenly suspected of attempted robbery | CNN

Director Ryan Coogler was detained by police in January after being mistaken for a bank robber.

www.cnn.com

"The "Black Panther" director was in Atlanta, attempting to withdraw $12,000 from his account with Bank of America. The teller received an alert on his account, according to the police report obtained by CNN, because the amount was more than $10,000. The teller notified her superior that she thought Coogler was trying to rob the bank and 911 was called. Coogler had written a note on the back of his withdrawal slip stating that he wanted the money to be counted discreetly, given the amount, according to the report.

When police arrived, two of Coogler's colleagues, who were waiting for him in a parked vehicle outside the bank, were detained and placed in the back of a police car. Coogler was placed in handcuffs while police investigated the call. "We deeply regret that this incident occurred. It never should have happened and we have apologized to Mr. Coogler," Bank of America said in a statement to CNN. Coogler was in Georgia at the time of the incident, working on production of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," the sequel to his 2018 blockbuster."

I doubt this was as much a case of racial profiling as it is a case of why would you go to a bank and withdraw 12K?? Of course someone is going to think you are robbing the bank. Why do people think they should be able to put their money into a bank and simply waltz in and withdraw large amounts of that money without them being detained and investigated?? How do we know that he wasn't being kidnapped and extorted? How do we know he wasn't indeed robbing that bank?

Most bank robberies are done by signing a withdrawal slip with your name and account number on it; then handing it to a teller along with your ID - it's not always a matter of someone going into a bank with guns drawn. This guy may be some multi-millionaire director just because he directed some racist movie -- but he is clearly too dumb to know how to handle money. Hopefully this incident has taught him a much needed lesson.

Why'd the guy ask the black teller for 12K in cash? Of course she was suspicious. LOL

It could be protocol. Reporters jump on stories early and fuck them up. As happened with TB-12 and the deflated footballs. Mortensen and ESPN never apologized.

Maybe that teller was robbed before and panicked. They are paid min wage. You get what you pay for.

How many Bank Robbers take the money out of their own account?

I have no idea.

I have no idea.

The correct answer is zero.

I knew this happened in a place run by people like you before I even read the story. Why does your party hate black people so much?

Racist puke needs attention

 

[marvin martian]

Why he would end up in cuffs does not make sense.

It does when you consider Atlanta is run by people like you.

 

[marvin martian]

Racist puke needs attention

I know you do, but I'm not giving it to you.

 

[TheParser]

Yes, if you request to withdraw more than $10k, the government will be notified.

Informative.

Hear tell, if you wish to deposit $10,000 in cash, the government will also be notified.

?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

The correct answer is zero.

Link please that it is in fact ZERO.

Thank you

 

[marvin martian]

?

That's right, these types of incidents ALWAYS happen in places run by people like you. You know that, right?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Link please that it is in fact ZERO.

Thank you

So your common sense is an expert on virology and epidemiology.

But it can't figure out that bank robbers don't steal money from their own accounts.

Not sure what I can show you. Moving on...

 

[Orangecat]

That's cool.

Call your congressperson.

I prefer not to waste my time in such plebeian exercises in futility. Stacks of cash in the safety deposit box keeps me under the radar.

 

[Meathead]

He is trying to bait our USMB racists

By race pimping?
