LOCKED OUT My bank closed my new account after I deposited a check – they refused to return my $10k for a year until I got help
The Sun

Leonard Rollock Jr. works as a paralegal paid by the US Treasury Department.
After a paycheck worth over $10,000 was flagged for fraud, he worked for a year to try to get his money back, reported local ABC affiliate WABC.
