If you need an account with Chase, doesn't that mean they were just withdrawing their own money? On top of that they are now going to jail for fraud.
- From what I understand they were basically doing check kiting
  
  I see.
  
  To combat this my bank doesn't allow me to withdraw above what is in my bank account, no matter how big the check is. Like I can see the check money in there but it usually has a note that only a certain amount is usable until the check clears.
  
  I did this by accident once when using mobile deposit of a check and missing the decimal point while typing in the amount. I was not dumb enough to think it was free money and spend it. The bank fixed it two days later.
You guys still have checks?
Fuck em.
