What kind of idiot would trust the banks with that much money? It would appear his idiocy was primarily in his choice of "friends".
I'm with Maris. I've already had problems with the bank when trying to use 5k of my own money on a big purchase. And getting even $1000 in cash from an ATM is impossible.
My wife wrote our son a check on her Chase account. He went to her branch of Chase to cash it. Even after she called and spoke with the teller they insisted on charging a fee to cash it because he didn't have an account there. I think it was $8.00. She emptied her six figure account the next day.
